## Resource

On this episode of StallSide, co-hosts Dr. Peter Morresey and Dr. Bart Barber welcome Dr. Alex Curtiss to talk about standing surgery—an approach that allows many procedures to be performed while the horse remains standing and sedated. Together, they walk through what these surgeries involve, the types of cases they’re best suited for, and how they compare to procedures performed under general anesthesia. From safety considerations to recovery time and overall outcomes, the conversation highlights why standing surgery has become an important advancement in equine veterinary care—and what it means for both horses and their owners.
