title: Surgery of the respiratory system.
abstract: Diseases affecting the respiratory tract are common in cattle; however, surgery required for treatment of these diseases is infrequent. Therefore, veterinarians may be reluctant to perform these surgical procedures. Familiarity with the variety and complexity involved in various surgical procedures should reduce this anxiety. When used, surgery of the respiratory tract can offer significant benefit to the patient and profitable returns to the owner.
