This review details reptile soft tissue surgery, adapting domestic carnivore techniques for reptilian anatomy. It covers pre-operative care and surgical approaches for various systems, emphasizing species-specific needs.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Herpetology
  • Comparative Anatomy

Background:

  • Soft tissue surgery in reptiles is less documented than in domestic animals.
  • Reptilian anatomy and physiology present unique challenges for surgical procedures.
  • Adapting established surgical principles from domestic carnivores requires careful consideration of species-specific traits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of soft tissue surgical procedures in reptiles.
  • To highlight the adaptation of domestic carnivore surgical principles to reptile patients.
  • To offer practical guidance on pre-operative management and species-specific surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on soft tissue surgery in reptiles.
Keywords:

  • Analysis of adaptation of domestic carnivore surgical principles.
  • Compilation of species-specific considerations for handling, asepsis, and surgical approaches.

    • Main Results:

    • Established protocols for pre-operative management including thermoregulation, fasting, fluid therapy, analgesia, and antibiotics.
    • Detailed descriptions of surgical approaches for skin, vasculature, coelomic cavity, digestive, hepatobiliary, urinary, and reproductive systems.
    • Emphasis on species variation and practical techniques for saurians, ophidians, chelonians, and crocodilians.

    Conclusions:

    • Soft tissue surgery in reptiles can be effectively performed by adapting domestic carnivore principles.
    • Careful pre-operative management and attention to species-specific needs are crucial for successful outcomes.
    • This review serves as a valuable resource for veterinarians performing surgery on reptile patients.
