BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Surgical Principles: A Foundation Manual
By Stephen Baines, Vicky Lipscomb and Tim Hutchinson
BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Surgical Principles: A Foundation Manual PDF presents the basic principles upon which the practice of modern veterinary surgery is based. The principles of surgery will often dictate the outcome of a surgical procedure, more so than the use of the most up-to-date technique, and the surgeon ignores them at their peril. The BSAVA Manual of Surgical Principles presents a solid grounding in the basic principles, with practical examples of why they are important, creating a manual that is very readable and relevant for the veterinary surgeon in practice.
