VetPrac | Head & Neck Surgical Oncology
6 March, 2027 @ 7:30 am - 7 March, 2027 @ 5:00 pm AEST

Our Head & Neck Surgical Oncology workshop is a game-changer CPD selection for general practitioners focusing on fundamental surgical resections and reconstructions for canine and feline oncology cases.
These cases are extremely common, and seen routinely in clinical practice. Participants will gain fundamental and advanced skills that can be applied right away to expand and improve the options they offer clients.
Expect to get to grips with axial and advancement flaps, nasal planectomy and eyelid and lip resection. Follow this with the approach to the ventral neck including thyroidectomy, parathyroidectomy and lymph node extirpation.
Who should attend
Veterinarians.
Learning outcomes
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Develop a systematic approach to biopsy, staging and surgical margin selection for head and neck tumours.
- Plan and perform advanced oral and facial oncologic procedures, including mandibulectomy, maxillectomy, nasal planectomy, and eyelid and lip resection.
- Apply reconstructive techniques, including axial and advancement flaps, using relevant anatomical landmarks.
- Perform thyroidectomy, parathyroidectomy and cervical lymph node extirpation using appropriate ventral neck approaches.
- Develop comprehensive peri-operative care plans, including analgesia and management of post-operative complications.
- Evaluate tumour prognosis and integrate adjuvant therapies through evidence-based decision-making and real-life clinical cases.
This is a wet-lab rich experience. Look forward to performing basic mandibulectomy and maxillectomy techniques in one of many relevant and competency-driven hands-on practicals.
You don’t need to have carried out these procedures already to attend – the whole aim is to get you doing them!
