The “minimally invasive” concept has led to the introduction of miniature scopes and needlescopes into the field of small animal MIS with proven reduced morbidity.
Digital contrast technologies and tissue‐targeted dying technologies such as ICG (indocyanine green) fluorescence yield increased accuracy for refined and advanced minimally invasive procedures enabling higher detail visual perception of living tissues.
Integration platforms and converging MIS technologies enable the control of multimodal systems from a single screen for operator ease.

While veterinary surgeons have defined and implemented the major trends and achievements in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) over the past 20 years, the development of specialized techniques and instrumentation made it possible for professionals to enhance the accuracy and complexity of the procedures. Over these two decades, many veterinary practices and hospitals implemented new standards of surgical care and realized the benefits associated with video‐assisted laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgeries, utilizing those techniques on a regular basis, despite previous objections to high economic investment. The goal of this chapter is to update and familiarize practitioners with currently available technologies for a fully equipped and integrated MIS operating room (OR). Careful selection of the most versatile, durable, and integrable units is nowadays the gateway to the ongoing evolution of veterinary MIS.
