Urogenital and Perineal Surgery

In this jam-packed practical day, you will be taught how to manage some of the trickier surgical situations that can happen down in the dog’s nether regions!

This course will look at temporary and permanent surgical solutions for managing urolith obstructions of the lower urinary tract by having an initial case-focused lecture followed by a clear practical session on pre-scrotal urethrotomy and scrotal urethrostomy. It will then focus on surgical conditions of the anal sac, supplying a clear understanding of the regional anatomy to allow successful execution of anal sacculectomy. The final session of the day will be a comprehensive lecture and practical session on the management of perineal hernias, with clear tips on how to safely execute a robust surgical technique for this potentially challenging condition.
