During this hands-on lab, performed multiple times at previous international conferences, we will focus on (1) the main surgical techniques that are performed on the intestinal tract in rabbits, including enterotomy, enterectomy and appendectomy, (2) on the two different approaches to liver lobectomy (midline vs paracostal) and the different options to provide hemostasis during liver lobectomy (encircling ligature, passing needle technique, others) and (3) on the approach to cholecystectomy. Guillotine liver biopsy will be also performed. A 1-hr lecture will introduce the topic, followed by 3-hr wetlab. Workshop will be performed on cadavers.
