About this course
Does the thought of doing an exploratory laparotomy fill you with dread? Would you like to feel more confident dealing with your next acute abdomen?
The aim of this course is to improve the confidence of those veterinarians who sometimes (or always) feel out of their depth when performing routine abdominal surgical procedures in small animal practice. The first day will be lecture based and cover a variety of clinical problems that can pose challenges for less experienced, and even quite experienced, surgeons. The practical day will allow candidates to perform fundamental procedures required for abdominal surgery. The focus will be on procedures that are performed in general practice.
Why do this course?
You will learn how to perform exploratory laparotomy and a range of abdominal procedures with confidence and gain insight into the clinical decision making that can optimise patient care.
