Abstract

Veterinary surgery encompasses a broad range of surgical procedures performed on animals, aiming to diagnose, treat, and manage various conditions that affect animals’ health and well-being. This paper examines the principles of veterinary surgery, its historical evolution, and the advancements in surgical techniques, anesthesiology, and postoperative care. It also highlights the challenges faced by veterinary surgeons in practice and explores the future directions of veterinary surgery. The integration of new technologies, minimally invasive techniques, and advancements in veterinary education and training have led to significant improvements in animal care. Despite these advancements, challenges related to access to care, ethical considerations, and resource limitations remain.
