خود را برای موفقیت با تنها کتاب موجود در بازار که تمام جنبه های جراحی اسب را پوشش می دهد مجهز کنید! Equine Surgery, 5th Edition شما را برای مدیریت هر شرایط جراحی با درک پاتوفیزیولوژی آن و ارزیابی رویکردهای جراحی جایگزین آماده می کند. توضیحات در کتاب نحوه جلوگیری از عفونت های جراحی، انتخاب و استفاده از ابزار، و تکنیک های جراحی بنیادی کامل از جمله برش، کوتر، انقباض، آبیاری، ساکشن جراحی، بسته شدن زخم، پانسمان، بانداژ و گچ گیری را شرح می دهد. علاوه بر تصویربرداری تشخیصی و پوشش ارتوپدی، شامل اطلاعات عمیق در مورد بیهوشی، سیستم پوششی (شامل مدیریت زخم، جراحی ترمیمی و پیوند پوست)، سیستم گوارشی، تنفسی و دستگاه ادراری تناسلی است.
Equip yourself for success with the only book on the market that covers all aspects of equine surgery! Equine Surgery, 5th Edition prepares you to manage each surgical condition by understanding its pathophysiology and evaluating alternative surgical approaches. Explanations in the book describe how to avoid surgical infections, select and use instruments, and perfect fundamental surgical techniques including incisions, cautery, retractions, irrigation, surgical suction, wound closure, dressings, bandages, and casts. In addition to diagnostic imaging and orthopedic coverage, it includes in-depth information on anesthesia, the integumentary system (including wound management, reconstructive surgery, and skin grafting), the alimentary system, respiratory, and urogenital systems.
