While veterinary surgeons have defined and implemented the major trends and achievements in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) over the past 20 years, the development of specialized techniques and instrumentation made it possible for professionals to enhance the accuracy and complexity of the procedures. Over these two decades, many veterinary practices and hospitals implemented new standards of surgical care and realized the benefits associated with video‐assisted laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgeries, utilizing those techniques on a regular basis, despite previous objections to high economic investment. The goal of this chapter is to update and familiarize practitioners with currently available technologies for a fully equipped and integrated MIS operating room (OR). Careful selection of the most versatile, durable, and integrable units is nowadays the gateway to the ongoing evolution of veterinary MIS.
