Recent Advances in Companion Animals Neutering

Dear Colleagues,

Sterilization of small animals is always a very pertinent topic. In recent years, new methods are being explored to improve surgical neutering and analgesic and anaesthesiologic procedures in order to achieve and preserve animal wellbeing, in accordance with European directives. Modern veterinary science has become more focused on improving these techniques, applying new procedures for the controlling of pain, using minimally invasive techniques. We would like to ask you to participate in a Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Companion Animals Neutering”. The aim is to collect in one Special Issue the results of your recent research and studies, particularly using better procedures that can minimize surgical pain and discomfort, and, thus, optimize the procedures in the obstetrics, gynecology, and andrology fields. We encourage you to share all information useful about any advances that can lead to improvements in companion animal’s castration.
