Customer Rating:  
Summary: Just OK
Comment: I purchased this book since it was required for surgery coursed. At first glance you will think the book is great. The book is very large with lots of colorful illustrations. However once you begin reading procedures and referring to diagrams you learn that this book seems simplified. The illustrations that are supposed to describe procedures often are not adequately labeled. I found myself referring to my anatomy texts extensively. Also the descriptions of the procedures themselves are not always thorough. I am often left with questions that I need to research elsewhere.

Summary: Surgery recipe book
Comment: I am in the final stages of specializing in small animal surgery. One of our prescribed text books is Slatter, an excellent reference with lots of information for you to get lost in, not always telling you what the method of choice is for a particular procedure. Fossum is in my opinion a good summary of Slatter, leaving out all the irrelevant stuff. Fossum is like a recipe book for surgery, guiding you step-by-step with good quality illustrations through the majority of procedures even a specialist has to do on a daily basis. This book is a must for every veterinarian that is involved in any aspect of small animal surgery.

Summary: THE surgery textbook
Comment: This is THE surgery textbook for small animal veterinarians.
Great descriptions and illustrations. A true "must-have" for those interested in surgery.
My only critic is that they should decide and split it in two so those of us not into orthopedics or neurosurgery wouldn't have to buy that part. I think this would make for a great soft tissue surgery book and, probably, much more affordable (had to buy it through amazon.com because this book is tremendously expensive in Europe).

Summary: Vet Student
Comment: My daughter is final year vet student, and she had been looking for this book. It is one of the best of its type. The professors recommended it, and it should be a great help to her when she goes into practice. She absolutely loved it!
