Course description
The idea behind the course is to give each course participant the possibility and the technical skills to perform experimental surgery on research animals, with the rat as our experimental model.
The course will develop your technical skills and we start out on a microsurgical level, including ergonomy and microsurgical technique. We will work on dissection technique and vascular anastomosis, first on the femoral artery and then the vein. There will also be focus on abdominal surgery with emphasis on intestinal and oesophageal resection and anastomosis, as well as urology and cannulation of both carotic and femoral artery and vein as well as implantation of tubing into the urinary bladder.
There will be possibility for training techniques free of choice, of procedures that each participant would like to train further.
