1st Edition
This book is a state-of-the-art
reference to using surgical lasers to treat animal patients.
Encompassing theory and practice, it emphasizes procedures, techniques,
and equipment, with specific recommendations for laser settings. While
most of the procedures emphasize surgeries on dogs and cats, this
practical guide also dedicates chapters to equine, small mammal, avian,
aquatic animal, and reptile surgeries, making it an excellent clinical
reference for any busy veterinarian.
The book begins with
background information on the theory and science of laser surgery, then
details specific surgical procedures with step-by-step instructions and
accompanying photographs. The next section provides practical guidance
for incorporating lasers into the veterinary practice, and the final
section offers a look at the future of lasers in veterinary medicine and
surgery. A companion website features video clips of surgery
procedures.
