The BSAVA has released the second edition of its Manual of Canine and Feline Head, Neck and Thoracic Surgery.

The original editorial team of Daniel Brockman and David Holt has been joined by Gert ter Haar to produce a new edition which considers the substantial progress that has been made in this important field, including the challenges of treating airway abnormalities linked to brachycephalism, the constraints of complex bony anatomy and rich vascularity of the head when performing radical surgery, and the treatment of trauma.

The book includes a number of new techniques, including dorsal rhinotomy and total ear canal ablation.

The BSAVA says operative techniques, instructive photographs and full-colour illustrations remain a key feature of the manual, which is aimed at the general veterinary practitioner.

The BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Head, Neck and Thoracic Surgery, 2nd edition is available from the BSAVA website: www.bsava.com or by phone: 01452 726700.
