This review synthesizes current amphibian surgery knowledge for captive species, addressing threats to these vulnerable vertebrates. It offers practical guidance on procedures like ovariectomy and gastrotomy to improve surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Herpetology
  • Conservation Biology

Background:

  • Amphibians face global extinction threats, with over 40% of species at risk.
  • Existing surgical literature for amphibians is scarce and outdated, hindering clinical and conservation efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated, practical synthesis of surgical knowledge for amphibians commonly kept in captivity.
  • To offer evidence-based guidance and expert recommendations for improving amphibian surgical interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review focusing on amphibian surgical procedures.
  • Synthesis of information on indications, approaches, and potential complications.
  • Inclusion of expert-informed recommendations for clinical application.
