Small Animal Programme

The orthopaedic programme features three main streams. Delegates will have the opportunity to learn about the latest topics in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation from specialists including Pilar LaFuente, Lowri Davies and Rico Vannini. Sessions on current strategies for managing critical bone and cartilage defects, and dealing with complications after common elbow, stifle and hip procedures will be presented by colleagues including Ulrich Rytz, Peter Boettcher and Loïc Déjardin. There will also be a combined canine and equine session on Regenerative Medicine, where delegates will learn about the science and current evidence from experts including Roger Smith and Frank Steffen, as well as learning about new
frontiers in human stem cell therapy.

The soft tissue programme is presented in collaboration with the VSSO. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear well-known specialists Julius Liptak, Paolo Buracco and Laurent Findji talk about the latest in the surgical treatment of tumors, and the role of new adjunctive therapeutic options. The programme also features a stream in skin and reconstructive surgery. The management and prevention of surgical site infections is also highlighted and will be presented by Fergus Allerton. Further there will be a stream on pain scoring and local analgesia and one on updates on minimally invasive techniques such as coils and stents.
