Following a brief discussion of wound healing and factors that may influence the healing process, the book presents various approaches to wound management, the selection of suture materials and suture patterns, and their placement for wound closure. Basic principles of reconstructive surgery, including tension-relieving procedures that are practical in clinical situations, are discussed and illustrated. Reconstructive surgery of specific regions, including unique problems and treatments, is illustrated with photographs of actual clinical cases and original art work. Lacerations of the lips, ears, and eyelids, fractures and fistula of facial bones, along with lacerations, puncture wounds and avulsion injury of the upper body and of the foot are all included. Additionally there are treatment methods for exuberant granulating wounds of the distal extremity, burns and surgery to remove proliferative bone and bone sequestra plus practical methods of free skin grafting, and bandaging and casting techniques that can improve the cosmetic and functional end result.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The second edition of Equine Wound Management will be welcomed by veterinary students, practitioners, and clinicians... With 20 authors providing expertise and practical information, the text is twice as large as the first edition and not only will be a useful quick reference guide, but also will provide in-depth information on physiologic, pathophysiologic, and clinical management of equine wound healing. This edition has been much enhanced by the addition of numerous color photographs, tables, and drawings as well as mant of the original classic line drawings. The authors have managed to effectively cover and expand on an extremely wide range of topics, from physiology of basic wound healing to innovative and newer techniques of wound management.... essential for those needing a complete text on equine wound management." - Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, September 2009

From the Back Cover
Equine Wound Management, Second Edition, is a comprehensive, authoritative resource for both theoretical and practical information on the care of wounds in horses. Now highly illustrated with full-color photographs throughout, this long-awaited second edition is significantly expanded to include new developments and techniques in wound healing. Encyclopedic in scope and fully up-to-date, Equine Wound Management focuses on the management of specific wounds organized by body region and wound or tissue type, with chapters covering the head, neck and body, distal extremities, synovial structures, and tendon lacerations.
As in the first edition, each chapter includes typical clinical cases, covering proper treatment and post-operative care. Changes to this edition include a more comprehensive introductory chapter offering additional coverage on the physiology of cutaneous wound healing and six new chapters covering factors that influence infection and healing, topical wound treatments, management of severely infected or complicated wounds, management of burn injuries, sarcoid transformation at wound sites, and practical use of lasers in wound healing. Equine Wound Management is an essential reference for veterinary students, veterinary surgeons, veterinary dermatologists, and equine and large animal veterinarians. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
