Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery, including laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, and endoscopic-assisted procedures, is becoming more common in veterinary medicine. The basic principles of laparoscopy and thoracoscopy involve gaining access to a cavity through small incisions, creating a workspace, and maneuvering extracorporeally activated instruments within that workspace.
