This practical two–day hands-on masterclass course will focus on the techniques of both flexible and rigid endoscopy in the dog. The course will provide an overview of selecting and handling endoscopes and cover the techniques used in endoscopy of the upper and lower intestinal tract, the respiratory tract, and the lower urinary tract. You will enjoy the opportunity to perform endoscopy at Improve International’s impressive wet-lab facilities and extensive hands-on opportunities over the two days.
You will be guided through the subject area of flexible endoscopy as well as the techniques and uses of rigid endoscopy (vaginourethrocystoscopy) in the bitch.
This masterclass course is strictly limited to 12 delegates and offers unrivaled one-to-one mentoring. The quality and preparation of the clinical material and low delegate ratio will make this an unsurpassed teaching experience.
Eligibility Requirements:
This course is designed for veterinary surgeons with all levels of experience. It will provide invaluable experience for those who are new to endoscopy and those veterinary surgeons who want to gain further experience with using endoscopes and refining their technique. The course would also be of value to those veterinary surgeons undertaking further professional qualifications in small animal medicine and surgery.
Flexible endoscopy:
- Upper intestinal endoscopy (including acquiring biopsies and foreign body removal)
- Lower intestinal endoscopy (including ileal entry)
- Upper respiratory tract endoscopy (including foreign body removal)
