Key to developing proficiency in non-elective surgical procedures is access to hands-on practical time to hone our manual skills. Students enrolled on the perineal hernia/urethral surgery course will have the benefit of maximised laboratory time where these surgical procedures are performed on cadavers. The necessary theory and case management details are covered via a mixture of pre-recorded lectures and review lectures on the day.
Hands-on surgical practice:
· Perineal herniorrhaphy using internal obturator muscle transposition (cadaver surgery)
· Urethrotomy and urethrostomy in dogs (cadaver surgery)
Pre-view lectures:
· Perineal anatomy, local anaesthetic procedures and case investigations
· Diagnosis and initial management of urethral obstruction. Case-based decision making.
Real-time lectures:
