Practical Mandibulectomy & Maxillectomy in the Dog - 03 FEB 2026

Description

Practical Canine Mandibulectomy and Maxillectomy 

Canine mandibulectomy and maxillectomy procedures are commonly indicated as part of management of oral tumours, plus rarer indications such as facial trauma. The technical demand of these procedures depends on surgical site, but is often within the reach of practitioners with an active interest in surgery. As ever, familiarity and access to suitable case numbers presents a barrier to management in practice.

In line with recent CPD offerings, Liverpool aims to maximise surgical time on the day, helping to cement the practical hand skills needed for successful case management.

 

Lunch and Refreshments included.
