Abstract
Surgical procedures conducted on livestock in field settings carry their own set of unique challenges related to environmental factors, variable quality of facilities available to the veterinarian, untrained surgical assistants in the form of owners or farm workers (or no available help at all), and access to surgical instruments, anesthetics and emergency drugs limited to what is carried on the veterinarian’s practice vehicle or clinic. Adhering to the basic principles of surgery specifically applied to the veterinarian performing surgery in the field can help decrease the incidence of surgical site infections, improve patient outcomes, and avoid failure of the surgical intervention.
