Veterinary Endoscopy For The Small Animal Practitioner 2Nd Edition Pdf

By Timothy C. McCarthy

Veterinary Endoscopy for the Small Animal Practitioner, 2nd Edition PDFย gives veterinarians guidance in incorporating diagnostic endoscopy, interventional endoscopy, and minimally invasive soft tissue surgery into their small animal practices. This highly practical reference supports practitioners in adding and effectively using endoscopy techniques in their practices. With a clinically oriented approach, it focuses on applications for rigid and flexible endoscopy, making comprehensive information on these techniques easily accessible.

The book covers soft tissue endoscopy, including airway endoscopy, gastrointestinal endoscopy, diagnostic and operative laparoscopy, diagnostic and operative thoracoscopy, urogenital endoscopy, and otoscopy.โ€ฏ Thousands of images, including endoscope images and clinical photographs, enhance the text.

  • Covers diagnostic endoscopy, interventional endoscopy, and minimally invasive soft tissue surgery
  • Includes thousands of images to illustrate endoscopy concepts for veterinarians
  • Provides a clinically oriented reference book for using rigid and flexible endoscopy in a small animal practice
  • Supports veterinarians who are seeking to increase their services and enhance their revenue streams

Any practitioner who is using or preparing to use endoscopic techniques will findย Veterinary Endoscopy for the Small Animal Practitionerย an essential practice resource.
