Standing surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on the standing horse under local anesthesia and controlled sedation. Throughout the procedure, the horse remains conscious, calm and safely positioned, while targeted medication ensures relaxation and pain control.
Thanks to modern surgical techniques, many procedures can now be carried out safely and effectively without general anesthesia.
These include:
The primary benefit is the avoidance of the risks associated with general anesthesia. This is particularly important for older horses or patients with underlying health conditions. In addition, recovery times are often significantly shorter, allowing horses to return to normal activity more quickly.
Not every horse is suitable for standing surgery. Very young horses or individuals with a pronounced flight response may not be ideal candidates. Whether a procedure can be safely performed on a standing horse always depends on the individual temperament and overall health of the patient.
