What is a surgery RVT?

Surgery RVTs, or Registered Veterinary Technicians specializing in surgery, are licensed veterinary professionals who assist veterinarians during surgical procedures. They prepare the operating room, monitor anesthesia, handle surgical instruments, and care for animals before, during, and after surgery. Their specialized training ensures that surgeries are performed safely and efficiently, contributing to positive patient outcomes. Surgery RVTs also play a key role in educating pet owners about post-operative care.
