The course will take place in Milan, Italy, and is designed to enhance participants’ diagnostic and surgical skills in the management of oral and maxillofacial trauma in dogs and cats. Over two intensive days of hands-on training, attendees will deepen their understanding of the principles and application of internal fixation techniques for mandibular and maxillofacial fractures. Participants will have the opportunity to perform a variety of surgical approaches and repair methods using different fixation systems, gaining practical experience through clinically relevant scenarios. The program will also cover soft tissue reconstruction techniques, including advancement and axial pattern flaps, for the management of extensive maxillofacial soft tissue injuries.
