• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book serves as a practical guide for equine veterinarians in orthopedics and surgery. It reviews and summarizes the current scientific evidence of the most commonly performed ultrasound-guided procedures for ultrasound-assisted surgery and injections.

For the first time, different techniques are compiled and richly illustrated with pictures and videos to guide the practitioner step-by-step. An initial discussion about the general principles of ultrasound-guided procedures sets the bases for clinicians to understand the general technique and apply it to each approach. Additional chapters describe the most common ultrasound-guided injections in different anatomical structures as well as the surgical approaches that are aided or guided with ultrasound.

All over the world ultrasound-guided procedures are performed daily in many different fields of equine practice. The main objective of using these approaches is to increase accuracy and minimize tissue trauma when performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Equine orthopedics and surgery are among the major applications of these techniques.

Roberto Estrada, DVM, Dr. Med.Vet., Dipl. ECVS-LA, is an Associate Professor and Surgeon of the Equine Hospital, School of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica. He combines the work in the university with his ambulatory private practice focused on equine orthopedics and medical imaging. Dr. Estrada worked for several years in the Equine Clinic, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, where he did his specialized training in surgery and orthopedics and became a certified specialist in equine surgery (Dipl. ECVS-LA). After performing hundreds of us-guided injections and surgeries and being part of studies in the field, Dr. Estrada saw the necessity of compiling and sharing these techniques with his colleagues, convinced that learning about us-guided procedures has an extremely positive impact on daily equine practice.
