Small Animal Abdominal Surgery

This course focuses on basic abdominal surgical procedures performed in general practice. A strong emphasis will be placed on basic surgical principles related to gastrointestinal surgery and urinary surgery. This course includes 5 hours of lecture and 11 hours of hands-on training in our continuing education lab using canine cadavers and intestinal samples. During the fresh intestinal lab, detailed resection/anastomosis, enterotomy and enterectomy techniques will be demonstrated and practiced. During the cadaver labs, basic gastrointestinal surgery (gastrotomy, gastrectomy, gastropexy, enterotomy, enterectomy), cystotomy, partial cystectomy, urethrostomy and splenectomy will be demonstrated by instructors and then performed by participants.
