This training is the best option you can find to specialize in Laparoscopic Techniques of the Extrahepatic Biliary Tree, Hernias and Thoracoscopy in Small Animals and make more accurate diagnoses”

Minimally Invasive Techniques for the Diagnosis and Treatment of various diseases in small animals were first implemented in veterinary medicine 20 years ago and have had exponential growth in the last decade.

This course begins with the technique of cholecystectomy by laparoscopy. Cholecystectomy is the removal of the gallbladder and is usually performed for diseases such as mucocele and less frequently for gallstones. The advantages and disadvantages of this technique will be described, as well as appropriate patient selection.

In this program, the minimally invasive technique for treatment of inguinal hernias will be developed, while the complications that may appear during the procedure and how to resolve them will be covered in detail. The techniques of laparoscopic colopexy and cystopexy, which are part of the therapeutic protocol for inguinal hernias, will also be described.

This program ends with thoracoscopic techniques. The peculiarities of the thoracoscopic approach and the specific material and instruments to be used will be described in detail. Possible complications will be detailed. This section will continue with thoracoscopic techniques that can be performed in the thoracic cavity, such as pericardiectomy, ligation of the thoracic duct, resolution of persistent fourth aortic arch, lung biopsy and exeresis of mediastinal masses.

The teachers of this postgraduate certificate are at the forefront of the latest diagnostic techniques and treatment of diseases in small animals. Thanks to their specialized training, they have developed a useful and practical program that is adapted to the current reality, a reality that is becoming more and more demanding and specialized.
