Since the publication of the first edition in 1992, Equine
Surgery has been accepted as a definitive clinical reference
and teaching text. Like the first two editions, the third
edition of the book has been prepared as a foundation text
for the art and science of modern equine surgery. Our intent
was to produce a comprehensive textbook that would be of
practical help to general practitioners, as well as provide
specialists and surgeons in training with a single reference
source on equine surgery. Accordingly, this third edition of
the book has been significantly enlarged and includes new
information, new authors, additional illustrations, and
many more line drawings and tables.
The task of reviewing the ever expanding literature into
concise chapters was considerable. As the editors, we divided
the responsibility for organizing the sections and inviting
authors between the two of us; and, we believe that the
outcome is consistency of content and presentation in the
final text. Additionally, we deliberately avoided omitting
well-known material and concentrating only on state of the
art techniques and procedures. We felt it was important that
students, practitioners, and clinicians have a comprehensive
textbook, discussing all aspects of this exciting field indepth,
while staying current with new developments.
All chapters in the third edition have been completely
revised and updated. Many new chapters were added in
areas of this discipline that are rapidly expanding. While
many authors remained the same, many new authors have
been added to this text, and we are indebted to all contributing
authors who helped us produce this book in a
timely fashion. We especially would like to thank David
Freeman, Anton Fürst, Susan Holcombe, Pete Knox, Wayne
McIlwraith and Rolfe M. Radcliff who provided a critical
review of the second edition, making suggestions for revision
and improvement of the third edition of this text. We
are also indebted to the staff of Elsevier, including Elizabeth
Fathman, Jolynn Gower (our most pleasant and constant
contact), John Dedeke, and especially John Casey (for his
tireless quest to keep the project on time and the editors
happy). Personal thanks to our administrative assistants,
Monika Gutscher (Zurich) and Martha Devlin (East
Lansing), without whom our lives would have been much
more complicated during the compilation of this book. A
special thank you goes to Mathias Haab of Zurich,
Switzerland, who did an excellent job in preparing all new
art work and in a most efficient manner. Finally, our most
sincere thanks to all the specialists who contributed to this
textbook, but most especially to the Diplomates in the
American and European Colleges of Veterinary Surgery for
their outstanding educational contributions.
