ISBN : 9781957260846 Author/s : Andrea M. Pievaroli, Roberto Properzi, J. Brad Case, Francesco Collivignarelli Release date : July 2023 Pages : 696 Binding : Hard cover Dimensions : 22 X 28 Language : English
After the introduction in the 1980s of minimally invasive surgery in human medicine, laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery started to take hold also in veterinary medicine. Thanks to its reduced invasiveness and its fast post-operative recovery, minimally invasive surgery started to expand so quickly that nowadays it has become the preferred technique for many surgical procedures. Laparoscopy and Thoracoscopy in the dog and cat is a comprehensive book that describe all the minimally invasive surgical procedures. The description of the various surgical steps is accompanied by a wide iconography, each chapter in fact illustrates with drawings and pictures the arrangement of the surgeons in the operating room and the positioning of portals to perform laparoscopic or thoracoscopic procedures. The book is also enriched by personal experiences of international authors who shared procedures still not described in the literature making the volume a must have practical book for practitioners aswell as experienced surgeons. For a better understanding the book includes videos of the described procedures available through QR codes on vetminimallyinvasivesurgery.edrapublishing.com.
