Synopsis

This second edition is in response to the acceptance of the first edition and the continued need for such a book for both veterinary students and large animal practitioners.

The purpose of this book is to present some fundamental techniques in large animal surgery to both veterinary students and large animal practitioners. It's designed to be brief, discussing only the major steps in a particular operation, and each discussion is accompanied by appropriate illustrations. Most of the techniques presented can be performed without the advantages of a fully equipped large animal hospital or teaching institution.

All of the drawings in the book are original and based on rough sketches and photographs taken at various points during actual surgery.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The Third Edition of this classic surgery text is the ideal resource for veterinary students and equine and mixed large animal practitioners. The book can be used both as an introduction to the fundamental techniques of large animal surgery and as an easy-to-use guide for quick reference in the field. The step-by-step technique sections have been restructured to allow faster access to information, including objectives and lists of equipment needed for each procedure. In addition to general updates throughout, this edition features new sections on minimally invasive surgery, laser surgery, and laparotomy. Coverage includes surgical techniques for horses, cows, pigs, goats, and select exotic species. Most techniques presented can be performed without the advantages of a fully equipped large animal hospital or teaching institution.
