The pig is a common large animal for experimental settings in many fields of surgery. In experimental surgery, there is a need for different narcotic procedures depending on the complexity of the surgical investigation. Narcotic procedures have to be safe, easy to handle, and should not influence the experimental results. We hereby present important aspects of handling and narcotic procedures for pigs. The aim of this publication is to supply an introduction for young surgical investigators who are planning or already have started investigations using pigs as an experimental animal. This publication is based on our institutional experience of narcotic and surgical procedures in more than 400 cases. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
