After the introduction in the 1980s of minimally invasive surgery in human
medicine, laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery started to take hold also in

recovery, minimally invasive surgery started to expand so quickly that nowadays it
has become the preferred technique for many surgical procedures. Laparoscopy
and Thoracoscopy in the dog and cat is a comprehensive book that describe all the
minimally invasive surgical procedures.

steps is accompanied by a wide iconography, each chapter in fact illustrates with

procedures still not described in the literature making the volume a must have
