Wound management is a vital part of equine medicine and surgery, as practitioners and specialists are frequently confronted with traumatic injuries in their equine patients. In a completely revised new edition, Equine Wound Management is the gold standard reference on this important topic for veterinary surgeons, veterinary dermatologists, and equine and large animal veterinarians. Now highly illustrated with full color photographs throughout, this long-awaited new edition is significantly expanded to include new developments and techniques in wound healing.
The heart of the book focuses on the management of specific wounds, organized by body region and wound or tissue type, with chapters covering the head, neck and body, distal extremities, synovial structures, and tendon lacerations. Similar to the first edition, these chapters include typical problem cases, covering proper treatment and post-operative care of each. A more comprehensive introductory chapter on the principles of wound healing offers expanded coverage of the physiology of cutaneous wound healing and discussion of other tissues affected by traumatic wounds, including tendons, ligaments, periostium, and fascia. Also new to the second edition are four chapters covering topical wound treatments, management of severely infected or complicated wounds, management of burn injuries, and practical use of lasers in wound healing.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The second edition of Equine Wound Management will be welcomed by veterinary students, practitioners, and clinicians... With 20 authors providing expertise and practical information, the text is twice as large as the first edition and not only will be a useful quick reference guide, but also will provide in-depth information on physiologic, pathophysiologic, and clinical management of equine wound healing. This edition has been much enhanced by the addition of numerous color photographs, tables, and drawings as well as mant of the original classic line drawings. The authors have managed to effectively cover and expand on an extremely wide range of topics, from physiology of basic wound healing to innovative and newer techniques of wound management... essential for those needing a complete text on equine wound management." - Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, September 2009
