Download PDF Turner and McIlwraith’s Techniques in Large Animal Surgery 4th Edition By Dean A. Hendrickson

Sinopsis

The first two editions of Techniques in Large Animal Surgery have been well accepted much to the credit of Drs. Turner and McIlwraith. They have been excellent texts for the veterinary student and the large animal practitioner. I was fortunate in that when it came time to update the information for a third edition, I was able to take on the task; and now we have added a fourth edition. The fourth edition of Techniques in Large Animal Surgery has been updated in response to the continued need for such a book for both veterinary students and large animal practitioners. As with the third edition, we have gone through the entire text to make sure the information was reliable. The “tried-and-true” procedures have been retained, the outdated procedures have been removed, and new procedures have been added. As we thoroughly researched each of the chapters in the text, we did a major overhaul of the references. Probably the most important changes in this text are the addition of two authors. Nickie Baird joined me in coauthoring the fourth edition. His expertise in livestock animal surgery was a perfect fit for this textbook. He brings a great deal of new information to the text and has been a great partner. Dr. Khursheed Mama joined us as the author of Chapter 2, Anesthesia and Fluid Therapy. She did an excellent job updating all of the information. We added a considerable amount of new information in the text and retained the table format to simplify information. New figures have been added, where needed, to support the updated information. I am very grateful for Grahm Hendrickson for illustrating the new procedures, as well as Katie Hunsucker and Joy Fuhrman for providing a lot of the background research. Thanks as well to the folks at Wiley for their help and assistance in the production of this edition.
