Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery

Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery (Iran J Vet Surg) is an official peer-reviewed open-access publication of the Iranian Veterinary Surgery Association (IVSA), published biannually. The journal aims to provide a groundwork for the contribution of researchers, practitioners, and students in the fields of veterinary surgery, anesthesia, diagnostic imaging, lameness, and other fields (clinical pathology, surgical pathology, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and epidemiology) when they are related to surgery. The journal also publishes research on laboratory animals on the aforementioned topics.

We are delighted to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery, published by the Iranian Veterinary Surgery Association. Since its establishment in 2006, the journal has continued its publication without interruption and has now reached 45 issues, marking two decades of dedicated service to the advancement of veterinary surgical science and education. We sincerely thank all the editors, editorial board members, authors, and reviewers who have contributed their time, expertise, and invaluable efforts to the journal throughout these years. Their continued support and commitment have played a vital role in the journal’s growth and development. We look forward to their support and collaboration in the years ahead, as we strive to further enhance the quality, scientific impact, and international standing of the Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery.
