This course explains HQHVSN incision placement and length that allow the surgeon to safely complete the surgery using a short incision. Not only is a shorter incision beneficial to the patient, but also for the surgeon and surgical team. Ideal incision placements for dog spays, scrotal neuters, cat spays, cat neuters, and cryptorchid neuters are included. Efficient incision closure techniques are also provided, including a specific closure technique that can be used with smaller incisions (about 2cm long). Using these techniques will immediately reduce surgery times.
