Reviews
The Atlas of Surgical Approaches to Soft Tissue and Oncologic Diseases in the Dog and Cat provides welcome realistic illustrations of anatomic regions commonly approached for surgical interventions. The artistic shaded grayscale renderings depict lifelike images that convincingly represent actual surgical fields of view and are almost as good or better than photographs when it comes to clearly identifying pertinent anatomic structures. This atlas is well suited to novice and experienced surgeons and will be a particularly valuable resource for general practitioners who are faced with managing traumatic wounds and are comfortable performing elective surgical procedures.
