MIS Takes Off in Small Animal Surgery: The 2000s and Beyond

Arthroscopy was the first globally embraced veterinary MIS technique, but this text is mainly focusing on the soft tissue MIS division. Here, it would take another two decades before MIS would be more commonly used in small animal surgery. In 2009, the American College of Surgeons added a requirement for MIS in the resident training programs.

In 1999 Dr. Lynetta J. Freeman published “Veterinary Endosurgery,” the first textbook dedicated to application of MIS in small animals. At that time, few clinical procedures had been described in dogs or cats, and the editor and her colleagues (ssss1) shared their extensive clinical research and training experience from the R & D section of Ethicon Endosurgery.
