PANEL DISCUSSION DESCRIPTION
Castrations are one of the most commonly performed elective surgeries in equine practice, frequently being performed outside of a controlled surgical suite, and with minimal or no support i.e. ‘in the field’.
Complications are not uncommon, and can range from mild to life-threatening. Join our highly experienced, leading panel of experts who will share their experiences, debate the different anaesthetic and surgical approaches, and discuss their approaches to management and prevention of complications.
