The purpose of this book is to present some fundamental techniques in large animal surgery to both veterinary students and large animal practitioners. It is 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 in this book can be performed without the advantages of a fully equipped large animal hospital or teaching institution. The book assumes a basic understanding of anatomy and physiology. Those who wish to know more about a particular technique are encouraged to consult the bibliography. We and our colleagues at the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital consider the procedures discussed in this book to be time honored. Some practitioners may perform certain techniques in slightly different ways. We would be happy to receive input about modifications of these techniques for future editions of this book.
