Book SynopsisEmphasizes topics of real clinical relevance in reptile and amphibian medicine. With details on therapeutic regimens, this title features coverage of infectious diseases, anesthesia, surgery, and advances in biology and conservation.Trade Review"This is an excellent book and deserves a place on the bookshelf of any specialist interested in herptile medicine. But is it worth the price tag for the generalist? There are other good books out there, such as the two editions of Mader's previous reptile medicine and surgery book, and, possibly, the British Small Animal Veterinary Association's Manual of Reptiles, to name a few; however, none of these are as up to date on the specific topics covered, are as lavishly produced, nor do they have as comprehensive reviews on anaesthesia and analgesic protocols for herptiles. This is a great book for anyone interested in herptile medicine and surgery, worth every penny and I am sure will go on to become a regular series." Reviewed by: Jonathan Cracknell.

Book SynopsisSmall Animal Soft Tissue Surgery provides an introduction to the fundamentals of small animal soft tissue surgery, covering the core principles that underpin all surgery, and key areas of general soft tissue surgery undertaken in general small animal practice. Emphasis is placed on current veterinary practice, the application of basic principles and the importance of patient assessment and appropriate decision making. With a practical focus, the book provides a clear, well-illustrated description of a readily applicable technique for each of the potential problems that face new graduates within non-specialist practices. The learning outcomes at the start of each section define the key areas for undergraduates to focus on and self-assessment MCQs at the end of each section help re-inforce learning outcomes. The text also contains information to enable newly qualified graduates to assess more complex conditions that are frequently encountered in small animal practice. For many practitioners who do not develop a strong interest in more advanced surgery, this text will provide a solid surgical text to last throughout their veterinary career. To enhance accessibility to undergraduate students, the text emphasises the application of a small number of key principles and limit detailed descriptions to a reduced number of key procedures.Table of ContentsPart I: Basic Surgical Principles 1: Applying Halsted's Principles 2: Prophylactic, Perioperative Antimicrobials 3: Suture Materials, Staples, and Tissue Adhesive 4: Suture Patterns and Knots 5: Surgical Instruments 6: Nutritional Support Part II: Wound Management and Reconstructive Surgery 7: Wound Management 8: Reconstructive Surgery 9: Oncological Surgery and Skin Tumours Part III: Abdominal Surgery 10: Principles of Abdominal Surgery 11: Hernias and Ruptures 12: Gastrointestinal Surgery 13: Peritonitis Management and the 'Acute Abdomen' 14: Ovarian and Uterine Surgery 15: Testicular Surgery 16: Urinary Tract Surgery 17: Splenic Surgery 18: Hepatic Surgery Part IV: Head and Neck Surgery 19: Ear Surgery 20: Upper Respiratory Tract, Laryngeal, and Tracheal Surgery 21: Upper Digestive Tract Surgery Part V: Endocrine Surgery 22: Endocrine Surgery Part VI: Principles of Thoracic Surgery 23: Management of Pleural Disease 24: Principles of Thoracic Surgery
