SurgeryA Look at Laparoscopic Ovariectomy in dogs (“lap spay”, “keyhole spay”)*
£25.00 + VATLaparoscopic Ovariectomy in dogs
In recent years, laparoscopic ovariectomy (“lap spay”, “keyhole spay”) has been of increasing interest to owners and veterinary surgeons, as an alternative to traditional ovariohysterectomy at laparotomy. This article discusses the background to this surgery, the instrumentation required and and includes a description of the technique used by the author, with some reference to alternative approaches.View -
SurgeryA review and practical guide to the management of canine and feline bite wounds
£25.00 + VATA review and practical guide to the management of canine and feline bite wounds
Bite wounds are frequently seen in small animal practice. The severity of these bite wounds can vary greatly, and management of such cases can in some instances be complex. A review of relevant literature surrounding bite wounds in small animals is presented. Bite wounds themselves are frequently not representative of deeper trauma, therefore surgical management of bite wounds is recommended. With consideration to the specific anatomical regions most frequently affected by bite wounds, management of bite wounds is discussed to optimise outcome.View -

SurgerySurgical management of thyroid and parathyroid tumours
£25.00 + VATSurgical management of thyroid and parathyroid tumours
When approaching cases of thyroid or parathyroid tumours in dogs and cats in practice, an understanding of the potential endocrinological effects of such tumours, as well as the likelihood of benign versus malignant transformation, is important. Following diagnostic investigations to determine whether the tumour is functional, to anatomically localise the tumour and, in some cases, to screen for metastatic spread, surgical excision is frequently indicated in the management of thyroid and parathyroid tumours. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the neck and delicate surgical approach are essential. Prognosis is ultimately dependant on thetumour type and stage, as well as the ability to restore homeostatic mechanisms.View -
