[Anesthesia for experimental surgery in swine].
New surgical techniques cannot be safely and widely performed in human subjects unless they are first applied to large animal models. Experimental model using swine as surgical practice subject is one of the most reliable and widely practiced, taking into consideration the similarity between human and swine anatomy. Based on our large experience (around 100 pigs) we hereby present important aspects of handling and anesthesia procedures for pigs. Our goal is to share our experience with young surgical and anesthesia investigators who are planning investigations using pig as an experimental animal.
