Surgery

What this department covers

Soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, imaging and anaesthesia.

Small and large animal surgical procedures
Anaesthesia and post-operative care
Radiography and ultrasonography
A functional operation theatre for teaching

Teaching here is tied to the university's working facilities — the veterinary teaching hospital, the Central Diagnostic Laboratory and six livestock teaching and research centres — so students meet real cases and real production records rather than worked examples.
