25% discount for bookings made before 28th February 2019 The exploratory coeliotomy is a commonly performed operation in veterinary practice. It should be regarded as an opportunity to examine the entire abdominal cavity, and surgeons should avoid the temptation to treat only the obvious lesion prior to closure of the peritoneal cavity. It is also important to biopsy relevant viscera both in cases with obvious lesions and in those showing no apparent pathology. The lectures will provide an overview of normal surgical abdominal anatomy in both the dog and cat. Video presentations will be used to show techniques than can be used to biopsy all of the major abdominal viscera. Practical tips and tricks for performing a successful exploratory coeliotomy will be stressed. In addition, lectures and video presentations will also cover some common surgical procedures such as gastrotomy, enterotomy and enterectomy. There will be an opportunity to practice some of these techniques in the dry lab setting.
