Overview

Veterinary surgery is the branch of veterinary medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of injuries, deformities, and diseases in animals through operative procedures. It encompasses a wide range of interventions, from routine operations such as spaying, neutering, and dental extractions to soft-tissue, orthopaedic, oncological, and emergency surgery, performed on companion animals, livestock, equines, and exotic species. Veterinary surgeons combine knowledge of animal anatomy, anaesthesia, asepsis, and post-operative care to restore function, relieve pain, and improve animal welfare, and the field continues to advance with minimally invasive and reconstructive techniques. Research published in Veterinary Healthcare reflects the surgical and clinical concerns of the discipline, including studies on canine osteosarcoma and other tumours that may require surgical management, a comparison of cardiorespiratory parameters in dogs undergoing laparoscopic versus open gonadectomy under spontaneous-ventilation anaesthesia, an analysis of risk factors for gastric dilatation-volvulus, and the use of platelet-rich fibrin and nanoparticles to promote healing of critical-sized bone defects in rabbits. These works span anaesthesia, oncologic, orthopaedic, and reconstructive aspects of operative animal care. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to veterinary surgery and the surgical management of animal disease.
