Canine/Feline Oncologic Reconstructive Surgery Laboratory
Saturday, June 27, 2009
This laboratory will focus on challenging oncologic resections and reconstructions, which veterinary surgeons are frequently called upon to perform. Topics to be covered include feline intrascapular fibrosarcomas, thoracic and abdominal body wall resection and reconstruction, hemipelvectomy and caudal maxillectomy. Appropriate analgesic and adjuvant therapies will also be discussed.
The objective of this laboratory is to review the surgical procedures that are available for treating a variety of canine/feline tumors. Participants with little surgical experience will likely not feel comfortable performing these procedures on their own even after the laboratory, but they will gain an appreciation for the preoperative evaluation, operative technique, postoperative needs and prognosis associated with these conditions. Short didactic presentations will be followed by hands-on labs with fixed specimens.
