Surgery is one of the oldest and commonest techniques employed in all species of animals for the purpose of correcting acquired functional and structural disturbances as well as genetic defects affecting the health, welfare and productivity of individual animals. All surgical conditions, managements and outcomes are not systematically studied and documented in Ethiopia. Therefore, in this study, surgery was conducted on a total of 55 (35 ruminants and 20 small animals) at Veterinary Teaching Hospital of College of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture to gain surgical skill as well as manage, treat and document outcomes of both minor and major surgical procedures performed on both ruminant and small animal patients. A standard accepted surgical procedure was performed on each animal presented with specific surgical condition and demanding specific surgical procedures. Accordingly, surgery was performed on 24 bovines, 6 ovines and 5 caprines. Among the ruminants presented for the treatment of surgical condition 21(60%) were males whereas 28(80%) were adults. In the case of small animals, surgery was performed on 19 canines and one feline that constituted 14(70%) females and 18(90%) adult cases. Minor veterinary surgery includes procedures ranging from removing skin masses and suturing minor wounds to certain dental procedures. It is therefore difficult to produce a definitive list of minor surgical procedures. The decision of what constitutes minor surgery will depend on: Size, depth and position of wound; condition of underlying tissue; complexity of surgery, including incision and repair; Overall health of the patient; proximity of surgical area to delicate or important organs. Most surgical procedures (30/55) performed on ruminants and small animals were minor surgery including draining abscess,subcutaneous seroma, and hematoma, testicular ablation following scrotal necrosis due to faulty application of Burdizo, wound management due to hyena and dog bite, correction of paraphimosis, uterine prolapse and skin tumor resections. Major surgical procedures (7/55) performed on ruminants were atresia ani, atresia ani-et recti, metacarpal fracture repair, rumenotomy, and urethrotomy. Major surgical procedures (18/55) performed on small animals were tail docking, C-section, forelimb amputation, fracture repair, inguinal herniorrhaphy, cystotomy, mastectomy, overiohysterectomy, and open castration for testicular tumor removal. All surgical interventions performed on the ruminant and small animals culminated in successful recovery (96.36%, 53/55) except in two animals (3.64% 2/55), a calf and a dog that had died after fifth and second day of surgery, respectively, due to lack of intensive postoperative care. Postoperative complications, such as swelling and wound dehiscence were also recorded in some cases, which were discussed with the respective cases with appropriate conclusions and recommendations forwarded.
