The sophistication of soft-tissue surgery techniques in small mammals is increasing rapidly. Exotic animal practitioners must be familiar with the diseases, conditions, and anatomic variations of each small-mammal species. The small size of these patients should not preclude the use of technologic advances available for other small animals. Despite these challenges, successful resolution of surgical problems in small exotic mammals is not only possible but also should be the expected result of veterinarians' efforts in such cases.
小型哺乳动物软组织手术技术的复杂性正在迅速提高。外来动物从业者必须熟悉每种小型哺乳动物的疾病、病症和解剖变异。这些动物体型小，但不应妨碍使用适用于其他小型动物的技术进步。尽管存在这些挑战，但成功解决小型外来哺乳动物的手术问题不仅是可能的，而且应该是兽医在这类病例中努力的预期结果。
