*Soft Tissue Closure and Ligation in Common Abdominal Procedures

Speakers: Dr. Alaina Andersen, DVM & Dr. Kelly Liwski, DVM
Tuesday, February 23rd from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Abdominal procedures are the most common type of surgery performed in small animal practice. There are constant changes in the types of materials available for closure and ligation, from suture to staplers and even the newer vessel-sealing devices such as the LigaSure. We will discuss the various options and recommendations for the most common abdominal procedures to help guide intraoperative and inventory choices. We will also review the use of a LigaSure for OVH and splenectomy, as well as give a step-by-step outline for rapid intestinal resection and anastomosis using a GIA stapling device.

*This webinar is pending RACE approval for 1.5 hours CE for veterinarians
