Veterinary surgery is covered by a set of laws called "scope of practice" laws. Scope of practice defines what type of procedures can be done by certain individuals, and these laws often define surgery as being a procedure that can only be done by a licensed veterinarian. However, specific regulations such as locations of surgeries, techniques and other technical details are broadly described as being "current with acceptable veterinary medical practice".
