Surgery

In veterinary medicine, surgery is the branch that involves the use of operative techniques to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases, injuries, and deformities in animals. It encompasses a wide range of procedures, from soft tissue surgeries such as spaying, neutering, and tumor removal to orthopedic surgeries addressing fractures and joint disorders. Veterinary surgery requires specialized knowledge of anatomy, anesthesia, pain management, and post-operative care to ensure animal safety and recovery. This field plays a critical role in improving animal health, restoring function, and enhancing quality of life across companion animals, livestock, and wildlife.
