BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Wound Management and Reconstruction provides information in a readily accessible manner on wound management and dressings of open wounds.

The chapter on tension-relieving techniques is applicable to the management of small wounds treated in everyday practice, as well as larger wounds treated less often or on a more specialist basis.

In this new edition, the understanding of local subdermal plexus flaps, axial pattern flaps and muscle flaps has been enhanced with step-by-step descriptions of the surgical techniques, featuring specially commissioned full-colour illustrations.

There are some specific wounds, such as axillary wounds or burns, that may require a different approach to management, such as omentalization, and these are also covered in detail.
