Full Day Course: 8.30am - 4.30pm (both days)
TWO DAY COURSE
This course is for anyone wanting to develop a better logical approach to oncological surgery and make
well informed decisions regarding the relevance and application of surgery for different tumours in different anatomical locations. This two-day course will review the principles of oncological surgery with an engaging combination of seminars and practical procedures.
Day 1
will introduce the language of oncological surgery and consider the appropriate application of
surgery depending on tumour type, location and animal / owner factors. Biopsy and surgical treatment
of common abdominal visceral masses will be practiced.
Day 2
will focus on reconstruction following excision of superficial masses, considering the core
principles of skin flap procedures to maximise the chance of a successful outcome, with the inclusion of challenging locations on the head and distal limb. Techniques to simplify reconstruction and reduce complications following surgery will be emphasised and there will be the opportunity to practice more complex reconstructive procedures to help in these awkward locations.
