Il corso propone un percorso completo ed esaustivo relativo ai vari aspetti della neurochirurgia veterinaria, attraverso una combinazione di lezioni teoriche e sessioni pratiche.

Relatori e istruttori, membri dell’European College of Veterinary neurology and Neurosurgery, condivideranno la loro esperienza e affiancheranno i partecipanti durante le esercitazioni.

I wet-lab saranno dotati di attrezzatura specialistica di eccellenza e saranno organizzati con un numero di partecipanti limitato per postazione, in modo da assicurare ad ogni partecipante la pratica ottimale delle tecniche illustrate durante le sessioni teoriche.

Scopo principale del corso è quello di fornire le basi teoriche e la competenza su approcci e tecniche in neurochirurgia veterinaria e di incrementare la confidenza sul planning pre-operatorio. Ampio spazio sarà dedicato alla discussione sulle controversie in neurochirurgia, tramite una valutazione ponderata dei rischi e benefici che accompagnano ogni scelta chirurgica, nell’ottica di fornire le conoscenze per un approccio razionale anche ai casi più complessi.

Il corso è aperto a tutti i colleghi con interesse nel campo della neurochirurgia, inclusi quelli che abbiano già intrapreso una carriera specialistica in neurologia e chirurgia.

This course will provide participants with lectures and hands-on training on the neurosurgical
techniques most commonly used in the veterinary field. Lecturers and instructors, all of whom are EBVS-ECVN recognized specialists, will ensure that theoretical background and a proper exchange on practical aspects is provided.

Unisvet Neurosurgery course can host a maximum number of 16 attendees in order to ensure high quality of training and exposition to a diverse array of neurosurgical techniques and related equipment during the five wet lab sessions.

Aim of this course is to build confidence in common neurosurgical approaches and techniques and to provide a grounding on pre-surgical planning. There will be ample opportunity to discuss risks and benefits of each surgical procedure, including an overview of controversial topics in veterinary neurosurgery through a review of current literature.
The course is open for veterinary surgeons with specific interest in neurosurgery, ECVN and ECVS residents in training and specialist wishing to continue their education and sharing their experience.

Le lezioni saranno in lingua INGLESE e NON è previsto il servizio di traduzione simultanea
Lessons will be held in English language
