General Overview
General Overview
The ESAVS Soft Tissue Surgery courses are dedicated to veterinarians in practice or in the academic field who are willing to deepen their knowledge in soft tissue surgery. The comprehensive study program consists currently of 4 one-week modules. A fifth “advanced” module is being planned. Each course is composed of a mix of theory and practice on models and cadavers. Much time is dedicated to interactive and practical training under the supervision of course masters and instructors, who are all internationally recognized European or American specialists.
After attending the whole program, participants shall have acquired sufficient knowledge not only to face most of the current clinical situations but also to further progress by themselves and then recognize the cases that need to be referred to specialists.
STS 1 (Soft Tissue Surgery 1) is mandatory before continuing on to the next courses. STS 2, 3 and 4 can be taken in any order. It is recommended to take STS 5 only after completion of the previous courses.
STS 5 is open only to those who have already taken STS 1 and at least one course from STS 2-4.
Specific Overview:
At the end of the course, participants 1) shall have acquired a profound knowledge of thoracic cavity anatomy 2) shall be able to perform lung lobectomies and pericardiectomy 3) have a better understanding of the cardio-respiratory physiology relevant to anaesthesia to the thoracic patient.
