**25% discount for bookings before 31st March 2026 ** 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.
Topics to be covered
The principles of oncological surgery, including the pragmatic approach to mast cell tumours and sarcoma
Practical surgical procedures to include abdominal mass removal (splenectomy, hepatica lobectomy, enterectomy and neprhectomy)
Reconstruction principles and options for challenging locations
Practical surgical procedures of skin flaps
Who is it 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.
