As demand for minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery in small animal practice continues to rise, it has become increasingly important for veterinarians to receive proper training in this field. Recent studies suggest that structured training programs and regular skill repetition are key factors for successful procedures with minimal complications. 

The course's primary focus is on laparoscopic Assisted- Gastropexy and the option of using the Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS), offering a blend of essential theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical experience. Participants will begin with bench-top laparoscopic models and simulators, gradually advancing to procedures on live patients. This approach ensures a deep understanding and proficiency in these advanced techniques. Additionally, the instructors and the representatives from equipment companies will provide insights on integrating these surgical methods into your practice effectively. Upon completion, participants will be fully equipped to safely perform assisted-laparoscopic gastropexy and the use of SILS, enhancing their surgical capabilities in response to the growing market needs.

The program is divided into two parts, focusing on the assisted-laparoscopic gastropexy procedure and the use of the Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS).
