Abstract

Castration in stallions is a common surgical procedure in equine veterinary practice. As with all surgical procedures, a profound knowledge of the surgical anatomy is imperative to a successful surgery. There is a high number of procedural variations at the surgeon’s disposal. Therefore, a professional knowledge of the various surgical options and its associated advantages and disadvantages will allow the surgeon to apply the optimal surgical choice for each individual patient. There is no perfect technique or approach available, which is suitable for every situation. The veterinary surgeon has to decide in every single case, which method suits the best for the particular patient and surrounding.
