Wound Reconstruction: Not Just Trauma and Skin

Friday, October 25, 2024
1:30 PM – 6:00 PM  
Location: 211ab

ACVS MOC

Surgeons encounter wounds of various provenance, including traumatic, due to resection of neoplasms, and as a consequence of complications from treatments such as radiation therapy. Wounds commonly involve the integument, however defects in other important tissues and cavities may also be encountered which may necessitate advanced reconstructive techniques. This seminar includes experts in the field giving presentations on their area of emphasis. Attendees gain both the latest evidence-based information as well as informal experience-based tips and tricks to optimize their own wound repair and reconstructive outcomes for future cases.

Learning Objectives:

  • Gain or refresh familiarity with basics of wound reconstruction in small animal patients
