"In summary, this text would be a useful addition to any practice library and provides an easily accessible and clear reference guide to common soft tissue surgical procedures. The author is to be commended for the quality of the photography and concise step wise descriptions. As a text, it would complement books such as the BSAVA manuals, and for recent graduates with an interest in surgery, it provides an excellent reference text to guide them as they gain surgical experience." ( JSAP , 2012) "Overall, I believe that this book is an excellent resource that would be most useful for veterinary students and new graduates as well as a refresher guide for experienced practitioners. It would be a valuable addition to the library of any general practitioner, and it is a must for general practitioners with an interest in surgery." ( Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association , June 2010) "This manual will provide a valuable addition to the practice library, and may well frequently end up propped open in the operating theatre. The main audience will be veterinary students and newly qualified vets, but more experienced practitioners will also find something useful in descriptions of procedures with which they are already familiar." ( Veterinary Record , February 2010) "The purpose is to provide step-by-step instructions for procedures while avoiding much of the extraneous detail found in many surgical textbooks.

This book provides a much needed focus on soft tissue surgery procedures likely to be encountered and performed in a general practitioner setting. Veterinary students and veterinarians will find this to be an essential, easy to read reference for these procedures." ( Doody's , February 2010) "Tobias draws on 20 years of experience performing and teaching small animal soft tissue surgery … .The text offers clear, concise, detailed, and well-illustrated instructions for performing all the common soft tissue surgical procedures conducted in small animal practices, complete with tips and tricks to make procedures faster, easier, and more successful."
