    • The male urogenital system
      BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Abdominal Surgery

This chapter considers the anatomy and conditions of the testicle, the prostate gland and the penis and prepuce as well as urethrostomy procedures. Canine castration; Prostatic abscess management (intracapsular prostatic omentalization); Partial resection and omentalization for discrete prostatic cysts; Canine penile amputation; Canine scrotal urethrostomy; Feline perineal urethrostomy (PU); Prepubic urethrostomy (PPU).

    • Management of dental and oral trauma

    • Management of oral and maxillofacial neoplasia
      BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Dentistry and Oral Surgery

      Benign and malignant oral and maxillofacial tumours are common in dogs, whereas oral and maxillofacial neoplasia in cats tends to be malignant. This chapter describes the dentification of as well as surgical and non-surgical options for treatment of a range of commonly presented tumours. : Unilateral rostral maxillectomy; Mandibular rim excision (dorsal marginal mandibulectomy); Bilateral rostral mandibulectomy.

    • Management of periodontal disease
      BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Dentistry and Oral Surgery

This chapter covers the diagnosis and management of periodontal disease, providing detailed instruction on the use of a range of equipment, instruments and materials. : Professional dental cleaning and closed periodontal therapy; Open periodontal therapy; Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty.

    • Mediastinal masses and other thoracic surgery
      BSAVA Manual of Rabbit Surgery, Dentistry and Imaging

      Rabbits have small thoracic cavities compared to dogs and cats; the thoracic cavity of a rabbit is also much smaller than its abdominal cavity. This chapter discusses considerations for thoracic surgery in rabbits versus cats and dogs; diagnosis of surgical thoracic disease; indications for thoracic surgery; and principles of thoracic surgery. : Median sternotomy for thymoma removal; Lung lobectomy via lateral thoracotomy; Placing a chest drain.

    • Microsurgery
      BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Wound Management and Reconstruction

      Although the use of operating loupes and surgical microscopes has been commonplace in human neurosurgery, ophthalmic surgery and reconstructive surgery for decades, experience with microvascular free tissue transfer is limited in veterinary surgery. Despite this fact, the utility of microvascular free tissue transfer for one-stage reconstruction of difficult problems, particularly of the distal limbs and the oral cavity, has been established. Early reconstruction of traumatic tissue loss using vascularized tissue is feasible, as is functional and cosmetic reconstruction after ablative cancer surgery. Tissues transferred in this manner are referred to as ‘microvascular free tissue transfers’, ‘free flaps’, ‘microvascular free flaps’, or ‘autogenous vascularized grafts’. Topics discussed are as follows: Microvascular technique; and Specific flaps in the dog and cat. : End-to-end anastomosis; End-to-side anastomosis; Raising a trapezius muscle flap; Raising a latissimus dorsi muscle flap; and Harvesting a vascularized ulnar graft.

    • Minimally invasive osteosynthesis
      BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Fracture Repair and Management

      Minimally invasive osteosynthesis (MIO) involves the application of implants for fracture stabilization without making an extensive surgical approach to expose the fracture site. The bone segments are reduced using indirect reduction techniques (without direct manipulation of the bone at the fracture site ). This chapter considers case selection and preoperative considerations; principles of specific fixation methods using minimally invasive osteosynthesis. Reduction techniques for minimally invasive fracture surgery; Minimally invasive application of a plate to the humerus; Minimally invasive application of a plate to the radius; Minimally invasive application of a plate to the femur; Minimally invasive application of a plate to the tibia.
