Veterinary surgery is surgery performed on non-human animals by veterinarians, falling into three broad categories: orthopedics, soft tissue surgery, and neurosurgery. Most general practice veterinarians perform routine procedures such as neutering and the removal of minor masses, while veterinary surgeons carry out more advanced procedures, including joint replacement, fracture repair, stabilization of cranial cruciate ligament deficiency, cancer surgery, treatment of herniated discs, complex gastrointestinal or urogenital procedures, kidney transplantation, skin grafts, complicated wound management, and minimally invasive surgery.
