Mini-Invasive Surgery Series

While mini-invasive surgery is widely regarded as a cornerstone of abdominal surgery for humans, its progress in small animal surgery has been limited. Having been honored with the pioneer award from the veterinary endoscopic society for my notable accomplishments in this domain, I am convinced that the moment has arrived to establish a fresh training program that elevates veterinary surgeons to the utmost proficiency.

Laparoscopic spays and biopsies are just the entry gate. Get the best possible mentors at Veteducation.vet and become proficient in advanced procedures including gall-bladder, porto-systemic shunts, hiatal hernias, adrenals, nephrectomies and more.

At present, Veteducation.vet provides the subsequent endoscopic training opportunities:
