This course is designed to teach participants the technical aspects of a variety of practical soft tissue surgery procedures. Some ‘theory’ will be included in the lectures, but emphasis will be placed on ‘how’ to perform each procedure. The instructor will utilize video clips of clinical cases that represent the procedures participants will perform in the lab. Participants will perform the surgical procedures immediately after viewing the video. Ideally, the videos will be viewed in the lab so no time is wasted between seeing the procedure and then performing it on the cadaver. Topics have been chosen that represent surgical conditions commonly seen in veterinary practice and will include: salivary gland resection, TECA-LBO, urethrotomy/urethrostomy, anal sacculectomy, chest drain placement, diaphragmatic hernia repair, splenectomy and incisional gastropexy for the treatment of GDV.
