Current Practice of Equine Surgery

Rather than concentrating on fundamental surgical anatomy, basic surgical techniques, and established diagnostic procedures, this text is designed to cover new and developing surgical therapies. Units within the book deal with areas of primary concern: new surgical technology (including advances in arthroscopy, laser surgery, and computed tomography); anesthesia; wound healing; neurology and ophthalmology; and body systems. Chapters within each unit present a disease or group of similar diseases in a consistent format: diagnosis, surgery, postoperative care, prognosis and special considerations.
