Annual Scientific Meeting, July 4-6, 2019, Budapest, Hungary

Large Animal Programme

The 2019 large animal programme will focus on a number of in-depth aspects of equine surgery. Considering recent scientific advances, the Programme Committee has constructed a programme around the main themes of

• Laparoscopy in horses anno 2019: instrumentation, techniques and outcomes
• Traumatic wound management: debridement, reconstruction, promotion of healing and grafting techniques
• The navicular region: imaging, prognosis and updated treatment modalities
• Treating weight bearing cartilage surfaces covering aspects of training, surgical resurfacing and medical cartilage treatments
• Surgical hygiene session: identification and prevention of surgical site infections
• Vascular surgery in horses: what can be done.

The in-depth streams will be complemented by several cutting-edge research topics on the development of new techniques and outcomes in equine surgery.

Look outside the box: When planning your days and lectures, the Programme Committee invites you to not only look into your own speciality's programme: Watch out for the little Look outside the box hints in the programme, of which you will find at least one per day in the large animal programme; here the Programme Committee recommends lectures and streams from the small animal programme, which are of interest to large animal delegates, too.
