Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute an article to this Special Issue, Equine Surgery and Postoperative Management. Horse surgery has seen significant advancements in quality in recent years. Innovative techniques for both soft- and hard-tissue interventions have contributed to improved survival rates and athletic prognoses in equine patients.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present high-quality scientific contributions focused on recent developments in equine surgery across all body systems. The objective is also to highlight and propose innovative approaches to postoperative care, with the goal of reducing morbidity and mortality in horses.
Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: advanced or innovative surgical techniques, perioperative and intraoperative treatments, outcome-improving procedures, postoperative care, complication management, and prognosis assessment. Original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcome for submission to this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
