Abstract
The advent of the internet and the technological innovations associated with it have driven significant advances in surgical teaching and learning. The ease of access to information and the variety of online resources facilitate the rapid sharing of surgical knowledge, promoting new patterns of teaching and learning. Educational content from online platforms adds both theoretical and practical knowledge, accelerating the learning curve and continuing education of surgeons. The internet and its associated technological advances can substantially reduce barriers, allowing faster and easier access to teaching. This study reviews how the advent of the internet has influenced the teaching and dissemination of knowledge in veterinary surgery.
