A postgraduate diplomaa in Small Animal Neurosurgerythat will become an educational tool of high impact and high qualification" 

This postgraduate diploma addresses all those pathologies that require surgical intervention, emphasizing on the performance of the same, the different techniques and applications, the anesthesia and analgesia of the patient, as well as his recovery (rehabilitation). 

Neurosurgery is a fundamental part of learning veterinary neurology, since a large number of processes must be treated and approached surgically for their correct evolution. Surgeries as frequent in this specialty as the resolution of herniated discs or vertebral dislocations are the day to day of this specialty, being familiar with the approaches, anatomy and surgical technique. 

It is equally or even more important to plan the procedure and carry out the most appropriate anesthetic protocols for each case, knowing the pathophysiology of the disease and the most appropriate drugs and doses for each case.  
In the postoperative period, correct management of the patient's pain is especially important. To this end, TECH has structured in this module a topic that deals in depth with physiotherapy and rehabilitation, fundamental therapies in neurological processes and in the good results of the cases. 

Throughout the program, the different pathologies affecting the brain and the most common clinical signs that identify a localization at the level of the thalamus-cortex are examined. For this purpose, it is essential to identify exhaustively all the physiological mechanisms that allow a correct understanding of the functioning of the encephalon. 
The different pathologies affecting the brain are presented divided by their etiology, studying and analyzing inflammatory, toxic, vascular and traumatic processes. 

It deals with the different neoplasms that occur in the brain, their diagnosis, the different types and their histopathological study. It also deals with congenital anomalies and their identification by means of different diagnostic tests. 

Finally, it examines the different degenerative pathologies and primary and acquired metabolic diseases affecting the 0brain. 

TECH also includes an in-depth analysis of all the  athologies that can affect the spinal cord. Myelopathies are a group of very frequent pathologies in the neurology office, being essential to know how to recognize their affectation, which segments are affected and which are the possible etiologies and treatment.

A study that includes knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, brain or spinal cord"

Advance your accuracy in the diagnosis and detection of congenital anomalies and other pathologies by incorporating the most useful practical advances in this field"

With the support of the most efficient audiovisual systems, the purpose of this program is that you not only acquire the knowledge, but that, upon completion, you will have the working skills you need in this field"

Acquire in a safe way, the most current knowledge in terms of scientific research and technological development in diagnostic techniques and intervention in neurological pathologies in small animals. The objective is to generate specialized knowledge in the student, creating a well-structured basis to identify the clinical signs associated with each neurological location and to be able to establish a list of differential diagnoses, acting correctly to achieve the best possible prognosis in patients. 

This postgraduate diploma will allow you to acquire the skills you need to intervene in Small Animal Neurosurgery, in the most frequent cases such as herniated discs or vertebral dislocations, and in others of varying complexity"
