The chapters in the second edition of this book have been comprehensively updated. The early chapters describe the principals of skills acquisition, minimally invasive suturing, and the latest information on medical technologies and devices used in laparoscopy and thoracoscopy. Subsequent chapters describing anesthetic principals and surgical techniques have been updated with the latest data on the topic, results of recently published research, and lots of tips and tricks from the preeminent experts in the field from around the world. New chapters have also been added covering thoracoscopic anatomy and diagnostic thoracoscopy, laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair, the use of exoscopy in small animal surgery, and natural orifice translumenal surgery. Other chapters have been expanded to describe newly published techniques such as laparoscopic liver resection, retroperitoneal adrenalectomy, and intraoperative cholangiography and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.

We sincerely hope that veterinary students, interns, and residents in training, veterinary practitioners, and specialist clinicians will find this textbook equally useful, be it as an interesting introduction to the field for those at the start of their learning curves or, perhaps, as a trusted reference for those already incorporating minimally invasive surgery into their clinical practice. It was a great pleasure to assemble such an incredible group of skilled and passionate colleagues to collaborate on this project, and we look forward to seeing the field of minimally invasive surgery go from strength to strength throughout the world in future years.
