Basic Soft Tissue Surgery (EN/DE)

This two-day practical course offers a comprehensive overview—both theoretical and hands-on—of key topics in basic soft tissue surgery. Areas covered include wound management, indications and application of different types of drains, wound closure techniques using tension-relieving methods and local subdermal skin flaps, as well as the surgical management of common urogenital conditions (urohydropropulsion, perineal/prescrotal urethrostomy, castration, cesarean section, ovariohysterectomy for pyometra). In addition, gastrointestinal surgery (gastrotomy, enterotomy, enterectomy) and other common abdominal procedures (e.g. splenectomy, diaphragmatic hernia repair) will be addressed.
