Reconstructive Surgery of the Face and Pinna
Open to ACVS, ECVS, and ACVAA Diplomates and residents
This laboratory focuses on reconstructive surgical procedures of the face, nasal, and pinnal areas in dogs. Emphasis is placed on the restoration of major defects of the upper and lower lips, nasal area, and the pinna. Mini-lectures complement the laboratory session using clinical case examples to demonstrate the use of local skin flaps as well as the labial/buccal tissues to restore problematic defects of the canine head.
