Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Companion animal surgery has undergone significant evolution over the past decade, driven by advances in surgical techniques, anesthetic protocols, and perioperative therapeutic strategies. As expectations for improved functional recovery, oncologic control, and overall quality of life continue to rise, modern veterinary surgery increasingly emphasizes evidence-based decision-making and comprehensive perioperative optimization.
Recent developments in orthopedic and oncologic surgery, including refined reconstruction techniques, improved tumor management strategies, and minimally invasive approaches, have expanded treatment possibilities for companion animals. At the same time, multimodal analgesia, enhanced perioperative monitoring, and patient-tailored anesthetic management have become essential components in improving surgical outcomes and reducing complications.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in companion animal surgery and perioperative therapeutic strategies that contribute to safer procedures, optimized recovery, and improved long-term outcomes. This topic aligns closely with the scope of Animals, particularly in promoting animal welfare, clinical innovation, and translational research in veterinary medicine.
We welcome original research articles, clinical studies, systematic reviews, and expert perspectives addressing areas such as orthopedic surgery, surgical oncology, perioperative medicine, multimodal pain management, anesthetic optimization, surgical outcome assessment, and recovery-enhancing strategies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
