How is thyroidectomy done best in an albino rat?

11 March 2014 1 10K Report

My research group is about to carry out research work involving thyroidectomy in rats and we are looking for the best way to do it with minimal loss of blood.

Surgical or chemical ? Chemical blockade is very efficient and no bleeding.

To stop bleeding use either hypertonic saline or soap foam - prepared by you from solid soap and some water
