Raymond Hoser 488 Park Road, Park Orchards,Victoria, 3114, Australia. Email: adder@smuggled.com [QUOTE]Bearing this in mind, in preparing for the surgery in my case/s, a far more effective means was devised to restrain snakes without incident. This is explained later and shown in the photographs taken at the time and in the absence of other yet unknown better procedures, I strongly recommend that persons doing venomoid surgery use the techniques developed and refined by myself as given in this paper.[End quote] [Quote]The method I devised allowed me to immobilize any species of snake without causing them harm, keep them immobilized as long as necessary and then to allow them to revive almost immediately after surgery.[End Quote] [Quote]Because I had complete control over the snake's state of consciousness, I was also able to accurately measure the snake and photograph it in it's operational state before terminating the procedure.[End quote] [Quote]Also as soon as the towel was removed I commenced removing the tape holding down the snake.[End quote] [Quote]It was suggested that a soldering iron be used to cauterize wounds and stop bleeding, but due to the effectiveness of the syringe method, I never bothered testing the alternative.[End Quote] [Quote]In the first operation I used a head magnifying glass to be able to better see the area operated on.[End quote] [Quote]Different sized sutures were trialled and I had a preference for the original (large) size as opposed to the smaller ones, which I found harder to use and hence extended the time taken to perform the surgery.[End quote] [Quote]As with all other aspects of the procedure, suture types should be trialled well before the first operation if there is doubt as to whether or not you will be able to work with one or other type of suture or needle. In line with most surgeons, I preferred curved needles to straight ones.[End quote] [Quote]A second reason why I stayed with non-dissolving sutures was that it was deemed sensible to restrain the snakes and inspect them about 10-14 days after surgery to check that they were healing correctly at which time the sutures could be removed within a minute or so anyway.[End Quote] The above quotes are by Mr. Raymond Hoser himself and as such warrants investigation to the laws noted above.
