“This is a text which should form part of the library of any specialist in minimally invasive veterinary procedures, as much for its quality and the range of its studies as for its up to date information.”  (Clínica Veterinaria Casa de Campo, 1 April 2013)“I think this book is worth  the money to help you get started, and I believe will help the more experienced surgeons in their steep learning curve with endosurgical procedures.”  (Veterinary Practice News, 1 April 2012)“This is a nice handbook on the rapidly expanding field of minimally invasive surgery and will serve as a helpful reference for practitioners interested in this field.”  (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 March 2013)“Experts discuss the surgeries, counter indications and complications, and treatment options in a powerful survey highly recommended for any veterinary clinician's reference library.”  (Midwest Book Review, 1 March 2013)“Clinical Manual of Small Animal Endosurgery provides a practical, comprehensive guide to rigid endoscopy and endosurgery in small animal practices, is packed with illustrations, and covers pre-operative through post-operative care.”  (Bookwatch, 1 January 2013)“The illustrations particularly will make this a must-have text for endoscopists of the future, which should include both practitioners and specialists. It is certainly a welcome addition to my bookshelf.”  (Veterinary Record, 8 December 2012)“This is a good manual for those wishing to learn more about veterinary endosurgery as a whole. The soft tissue applications of endosurgery are well covered with very helpful illustrations.”  (Doody’s, 26 October 2012)
