Invertebrates are a collection of animals unified by the lack of a vertebral column. While invertebrate animals comprise greater than 95% of the animal kingdom's species well over 95% of the literature pertaining to surgery deals with vertebrates.

This chapter covers the current state of surgery on the most prominent invertebrate groups (sponges, coelenterates, mollusks, crustaceans, insects, horseshoe crabs, spiders, echinoderms, and urochordates). Since various taxa are largely unrelated and possess specialized anatomic and physiologic features, each taxon is handled separately and specific procedures reviewed and addressed accordingly.
