We have two state-of-the-art operating theatres, two specially designed recovery boxes with rope-assisted recovery systems and a separate anaesthesia induction room. This allows us to accommodate many procedures in one day and, if the need arises, multiple procedures taking place at the same time.
Surgeries that are performed in our standing surgery suite, using carefully designed sedation regimes and specific local anaesthetic techniques, include laser surgery, laparoscopy and dorsal spinous resection (DSP) surgery, as well as dental surgery. Rossdales surgeons are at the forefront of constantly evolving techniques that will likely see many more surgeries being carried out on the standing horse in the future.
All our surgeons are Diplomates of the European College of Veterinary Surgeons (ECVS) or the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, and registered as European or RCVS veterinary specialists. This accreditation shows that every member of the surgery team has undergone rigorous training in all aspects of equine surgery, and they are familiar and experienced in all current techniques. Each team member has specific areas of equine surgery to which they dedicate most of their time and our reception team will guide you to the correct specialist, depending on each patient’s requirements.
