Course description and content
This course is designed to teach participants the technical aspects of a variety of soft tissue surgery procedures. Some ‘theory’ will be included in the lectures but emphasis will be placed on the technical aspects used to perform each procedure thus maximizing time in the lab. Topics have been chosen that represent surgical conditions commonly seen in veterinary practice and include salivary gland resection, laryngeal tie-back, anal sacculectomy, urethrostomy, 10-minute gastropexy, 4-ligature splenectomy, and chest drain placement. Video of clinical case material will be used extensively throughout the laboratory to help illustrate each technique.
