Practical Soft Tissue Surgery Techniques Video segments of clinical case material, carefully edited to form a real life experience, are used as a means of delivering the surgical lectures. All video cases are client owned animals and all of the surgical procedures performed are on patients that have come to the instructor’s hospital. Case selection includes practical surgical procedures that many veterinarians are able to perform in their practice. An advantage of this lecture style is that participants are able to see the case actually operated on during the lecture. 8:30am - 9:30 am : Surgical management of GDV; the 10-minute gastropexy This seminar will focus primarily on the surgical management of GDV patients. Video of clinical cases during intraoperative decision making will be presented. We will focus on the authors’ preferred method for gastric derotation and the technical aspects of performing a 15-minute incisional gastropexy. Extensive use of video of clinical cases will give participants a real-life experience. 9:30 am - 10:00 am : The 4-ligature splenectomy Years ago, the anatomist suggested that in order to safely remove the spleen the left gastroepiploic artery and vein must be preserved, or the gastric blood supply would be put at risk. We now know this is not true! I will suggest a way to use this new anatomic information to safely remove the spleen in a non-GDV patient with 4 (maybe 5) ligations. We will then utilize this new knowledge of anatomy to develop a ‘plan’ to rapidly and safely remove the spleen in a dog that is bleeding to death! 10:00 am - 10:30 am : Break 10:30 am - 11:30 am : Intestinal anastomosis – tips to make it easier When performing an intestinal resection and anastomosis by yourself (i.e., no assistant to help!) I have several tips that may make the procedure easier for you. I will suggest several alternative techniques that you can consider incorporating that will likely make this common procedure easier and more predictably successful. Video of clinical cases will be used to illustrate these techniques. 11:30 am - 1:00 pm : Lunch 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm : Surgical management of canine cystic and urethral calculi A ‘never fail’ technique for retropulsion of calculi lodged in the urethra of male dogs will be presented. What is your worst cystic calculi nightmare……leaving a stone behind after your cystotomy! This lecture will describe a unique protocol that will eliminate the possibility of leaving a stone behind. Video of clinical cases will be used to illustrate this protocol. 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm : Anal sacculectomy: a novel approach Anal sacculectomy is frequently performed in veterinary practice. It can be tricky to get all the anal sac epithelium and preserve the external anal sphincter muscle and caudal rectal nerve. I will suggest a ‘novel’ technique that allows the surgeon full control of the perianal anatomy and thus preservation of all vital structures during complete anal sac resection. Video showing this technique in a clinical case will illustrate its potential usefulness in your practice. 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm : Break 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm : Feline perineal urethrostomy; a novel approach Feline perineal urethrostomy has classically been approached with the patient placed in a perineal position. Although this positioning is awkward for the surgeon it has become the standard approach. This lecture will suggest taking another look at patient positioning. Placing the cat in dorsal recumbency allows a much more ‘ergonomic’ approach for the surgeon and enhances visualization of the regional anatomy. In addition, this positioning 4:00 pm - 4:30 pm : Chronic vaginitis and incontinence; can surgery help? Occasionally young female dogs present with chronic vaginitis, frequent UTI’s and intermittent urinary incontinence. Vulvar conformational abnormalities can be the underlying cause of all three. Surgical correction of the vulvar abnormality may be curative. This session will deal with the author’s vulvarplasty technique. Video of a clinical case will be used to facilitate understanding of the technique. |

Using Food as Medicine: Like your morning coffee? Have a cocktail to unwind? Then you use food as medicine. This talk will teach you to do the same for cats and dogs. I will cover a few home-cooked recipes for healthy animals and chronically ill patients. I will also explain easy home-cooking techniques for clients. Bach Flower Essences: Psychological Therapy: Dr. Bach believed emotional imbalances were the root of all disease, and correcting these imbalances could cure any condition. Many conditions in animals are psychological, such as inappropriate urination, separation anxiety, OCD’s, etcetera. I will discuss which Bach Flower Essences are appropriate for a variety of conditions. Adaptogens: Herbs for Stress: Adaptogens are herbs that improve the body’s resilience and resistance to stress, mental physical or environmental. This lecture will start with a detailed explanation of adaptogens as an herbal group. Specific adaptogenic herbs will be discussed in detail. |

8:30 am - 9:30 am : Surgical management of uroabdomen Occasionally patients sustaining blunt abdominal trauma are diagnosed with uroabdomen secondary to ruptured bladder. Once these patients have been stabilized an exploratory laparotomy is performed to repair the ruptured bladder. This seminar will focus on the intraoperative decision making in patients that have sustained enough blunt force trauma to result in a ruptured bladder. Video of a variety of clinical cases presented to our trauma unit will be used to illustrate surgical methods. 9:30 am - 10:00 am : Chest drain placement This lecture will focus on techniques used to place chest drains in dogs and cats. A variety of drain types will be used as well as several different techniques. I will include a unique technique that allows percutaneous placement of a chest drain in a fully awake traumatized patient. Videotape of clinical cases requiring ‘emergency’ as well as ‘planned’ chest drain placement will be used to illustrate the recommended procedures. 10:00 am - 10:30 am : Break 10:30 am - 11:30 am : Surgical management of brachycephalic syndrome This session will discuss the management of upper airway obstruction in brachycephalic breeds. Emphasis will be placed on nasoplasty and soft palate resection. A novel technique for nasal planum resection will be discussed. There is compelling evidence suggesting that not all everted laryngeal saccules need to be resected! Videotape of clinical cases will be used to illustrate surgical techniques. |
