Abstract
The goals of soft tissue surgery in small animals must ultimately be to improve quality of life or to prolong life. However, surgery itself represents a traumatic insult to the patient and, along with anaesthesia, results in disturbances to normal physiology. This chapter discusses The postoperative plan; Recovery from anaesthesia; Postoperative monitoring; Gastro-oesophageal reflux; and Wound management. Case examples: Bladder rupture repair in a dog; Gastric dilatation-volvulus in a dog; Aspergillosis and laryngeal paralysis in a dog; Pharyngeal stick injury in a dog; Rectal adenocarcinoma in a dog; Bilateral thyroidectomy in a cat; Surgical wound breakdown in a working dog; Splenic rupture in a dog.
