Thanks to this intensive program you will learn how to correctly manage possible surgical and postoperative complications"  

This education addresses the most common surgical diseases of the liver and spleen, as well as the treatment indicated for the most common hernias in the small animal clinic. Due to the fragility of the liver, hemorrhage is one of the most frequent complications of liver surgery due to the possible alteration of hemostasis due to the underlying pathology and its vascular supply. In addition, the management of the liver is complicated due to the limited space and visibility as well as complex in its own and adjacent structures.  

Also shown are the major surgical diseases of the head and neck that are often considered challenging for most surgeons. The complex anatomy and characteristics of these diseases make it necessary to have an accurate clinical diagnosis, since an inadequate intervention could have a high cost for the patient.  

Finally, the student will learn about surgery of the thoracic cavity, since it is one of the specialties that usually requires the veterinary surgeon to perform. During this Postgraduate diploma, it is intended that the student will broaden their understanding of the pathophysiology of the different diseases that can occur in the thoracic cavity.

After completing this Postgraduate diploma, the student will have sufficient knowledge to deal with any surgery that may arise in these areas. They will know from the first moment everything that a surgery entails, from the specific material and instruments for each region or surgery, anesthetics and medications used, to the most specific details that make a surgery a success.
