Abstract:
A safe and easy-to-manage technique for various craniotomy procedures in young rabbits has been developed. This technique, which minimizes the need for special instrumentation, has been tested in 90 animals with a minimal mortality and morbidity: one death perioperatively caused by sagittal sinus bleeding and one rabbit disclosing a brief period of postoperative illness, respectively. The technique, including postsurgical strategy, is described in detail.
