<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cIt delivers good magnification, good illumination without\nsignificant aberration or production of excessive heat and has a great internal\nstability which allows operational flexibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is also direct visual control of the instrumentation\nwith the possibility to have magnifications up to 10 times with a good depth of\nfield allowing a more natural three-dimensional vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn addition, surgical microscopes allow multiple different magnifications\nwhile maintaining constant working distances which leads to excellent\nflexibility and versatility during surgical procedures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor example, low magnification is used during the drilling\nof the vertebral laminar or the skull and to ensure that the whole surgical\nfield is clean before suturing the muscle layers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHigher magnification is used while dealing with delicate\nstructures such as the spinal cord or brain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe higher magnification coupled with a good depth of view\nand stable three-dimensional vision also increases the security and safety when\nmanipulating micro-surgical instruments near the nervous tissue.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Massimo said that while the microscopes are not common in\nveterinary practices, he strongly believes they are an essential piece of\nequipment when dissecting close to the brain or spinal cord in small animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are confident the use of this tool will continue to\npromote progress to the benefit of our pets, which deserve the very best\ntreatment available for their neurological conditions,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He said veterinary surgeons will also benefit from the\nintroduction of the surgical microscope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe operative neurosurgical microscope is fixed to a self-levelling\ntripod, allowing multiple spatial configuration to ensure a perfect vision of\nthe surgical field,\u201d said Massimo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis has a positive outcome on the health and well-being of\nthe surgeons, with a 2013 study showing that, for nearly 85 per cent of the\ntime spent operating, surgeons have symmetrical, non-neutral, head-neck posture.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here at Paragon we provide multi-disciplinary small animal care including anaesthesia and analgesia, cardiology, dermatology, diagnostic imaging, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here at Paragon, one of the UK\u2019s top animal hospitals, we have significantly enhanced our neurosurgery capabilities by investing in a \u00a320,000, state-of-the-art surgical microscope. We have become the first practice in Yorkshire, and one of few in the UK, to introduce the technology.
