TPLO training in Karlsruhe on Saturday October 28th, 2023 in the Arndt small animal center
Early bird discount until August 31, 2023
The TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) training is a specialized and intensive training course aimed specifically at professionals in the field of veterinary medicine. The training is carried out with a strong focus on highly qualified and scientifically based teaching. Below are the key areas covered in the seminar:
- Preoperative planning : Participants will be introduced to the essential techniques of preoperative imaging and surgical planning. This includes interpreting x-ray images and selecting adequate implants.
- Theoretical principles : A deep insight into the principles of TPLO is provided, including the background and indications for the use of this method for the treatment of cruciate ligament injuries in dogs.
- Practical exercises on the cadaver : In a controlled environment, participants are given the opportunity to independently plan and carry out TPLO on the cadaver. The correct handling of specific instruments and the use of plate systems are pointed out.
- Postoperative evaluation : A critical and detailed review of the TPLO performed is carried out. The intra- and postoperative evaluation enables a comprehensive analysis of one's own work and contributes to improving surgical skills.
- Demonstrations and exercises : The training includes live demonstrations of a TPLO on the cadaver as well as exercises in which participants perform the TPLO independently. This provides a hands-on experience and promotes understanding of the entire process.
- Discussion and conclusion : The training concludes with an in-depth discussion and a postoperative evaluation. Here, questions are discussed and experiences are exchanged in order to deepen the knowledge learned and eliminate potential ambiguities.
The TPLO training therefore offers a holistic, meticulous and scientifically oriented approach to the techniques and methods of TPLO. By combining theory and practice, the seminar creates a solid foundation for the effective application of this complex surgical technique in everyday clinical practice.
