Abstract
To be a successful avian surgeon the sympathetic handling of soft tissues is mandatory. Avian surgery requires exactness in view of small body size and increased metabolic rate, as any errors are magnified. This chapter evaluates equipment, planning for microsurgery, patient preparation, neoplasms, gastrointestinal and reproductive tract techniques, respiratory tract surgery and biopsy.
