Abstract
In recent years there has been a drive to develop surgical procedures applicable to the standing animal. Performing surgery under these conditions has a number of advantages, including negating the risks and expense of general anaesthesia, reducing post-operative morbidity and reducing the risk of haemorrhage. The development of methods for continuous-rate infusion of sedatives greatly facilitates this type of surgery. Standing enucleation of the eye in the horse has become popular, due to the ease with which the eye and surrounding tissue can be desensitised using local nerve blocks and the increased risk of death and other complications reported while performing ocular surgery during general anaesthesia. The procedure is well tolerated by the horse and is well suited to field situations.
