BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Surgical Principles
Editors: Stephen J. Baines, Vicky Lipscomb and Tim HutchinsonPublication Date: January 2012Meticulous attention to the basic principles of surgery is critical if a good surgical outcome is to be achieved.

Complications that arise following surgery are often attributable to a lack of understanding or appreciation of the importance of these basic principles. This manual provides a solid grounding in best practice for the basic principles of veterinary surgery, which will be particularly helpful for veterinary students, new graduates and veterinary nurses as well as any veterinary surgeon wishing to update their knowledge.

BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Wound Management and Reconstruction
Editors: John Williams and Alison MooresPublication Date: March 2009This manual is useful for all veterinary surgeons presented with a challenging wound. It provides information in a readily accessible manner on wound management and dressings of open wounds. The chapter on tension-relieving techniques is applicable to the management of small wounds treated in everyday practice, as well as larger wounds treated less often or on a more specialist basis. The understanding of local subdermal plexus flaps, axial pattern flaps and muscle flaps is enhanced with step-by-step descriptions of the surgical techniques, featuring specially commissioned full-colour illustrations. It is particularly important for veterinary surgeons not only to consider potential complications before treatment but also, importantly, to recognize when they occur and to provide appropriate management. Similarly, there are some specific wounds, such as axillary wounds or burns, that may require a different approach to management, such as omentalization, and these are also covered in detail. The international authors have used their many years of experience and expertise in wound management and reconstruction to produce a truly practical manual.

Authored by vets with many years of experience in general practice, this foundation manual aims to provide the first port of call for the busy practitioner faced with uncertainty over a new case. Common sense, first line approaches are given in a problem oriented setting stemming from the nose to tail examination.
