2 ways to manage SQ tissues when entering the abdomen
👋 Welcome to the Mentorship Program for the Inexperienced Surgeon
We’re so glad you’re here! This program is designed to help you grow your surgical skills and confidence, one step at a time.
Each month covers a new topic with a suggested schedule to guide you . This month’s topic is The Spay Surgery. This surgery is a great teaching tool as it familiarizes you with working
within the abdomen and the ventral midline approach. We have created a viewing order and timeline for you but feel free to move at your own pace. The first video in the menu is the longest one and it is packed full of information. It is an excellent starting point.
As you work through the material, please post any comments or questions below. We’re monitoring this space and will do our best to respond here but if not, for sure we will address the question during the webinar.
Be sure to note the date of this month’s live Q&A webinar, also listed in the menu. It’s a great chance to ask questions, review cases, and clarify anything that comes up during the month.
In the downloadable resources section at the top of the page — you’ll find a surgery log
template there. We strongly encourage you to use it, especially to track your spay surgeries. It’s a valuable teaching tool that helps reinforce learning and monitor progress.
Let’s get started!

Welcome Everyone! Feel free to post comments or questions. You can also ask questions about anesthesia or sedation. Dr Brock said she would gladly respond even if it a surgical topic this month 😉

Wow I learned so much. I have never seen or heard about inverting the bladder and flushing the wall. It makes so much sense. I love the way you flush the urethra, will be doing it this way from now on, as well as how to close a thick subcutaneous layer. I was taught somewhere along my path that you should closed the subcutaneous layer in a cat because they react more to the suture than the dog. Do you still do this method in those really fat cats? I won’t be at the live discussion again as I have another course I am doing on Wednesdays that are just live webinars so I have to be present there, but I will watch them after. Thank you so much for all the information. Even for a “more experienced vet” I have learn so much from this mentorship program. Will definitely and have been recommending it.
