The Postgraduate certificate in Wound Management and Reconstructive Surgery in Small Animals is an educational project committed to educating high-quality professionals. It is a program designed by professionals specialized in each specific field who are faced with new surgical challenges every day.  

From the most basic to the most specialized clinical practice, all manage wounds of one kind or another. It is therefore essential to be able to recognize what is happening at any given moment in the tissue in front of us. Throughout this Postgraduate certificate the necessary steps to achieve a correct healing for different types of wounds will be defined. It will be shown why it is better to cover wounds, what materials are available for this purpose and how to proceed according to the wound and its degree of evolution. In addition, new materials and techniques, such as laser therapy to improve healing, will be discussed in detail. 

The best options for each case will also be specified, as well as the useful techniques to solve skin defects in each area, whether they are programmed defects due to the resection of a tumor, or accidental defects from traumatic wounds.  

Likewise, the simplest plastic techniques to relieve tension locally, and the more complex ones, such as grafts, will be explained. The various axial flaps will be described, with practical advice on planning, execution and postoperative care, not forgetting that the simpler techniques are at least as important. One of the principles of plastic surgery is to solve every wound with the simplest possible technique. 

The student, after completing this Postgraduate certificate, will have sufficient knowledge to deal with any surgery that may arise in these areas. You 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.
