Laryngeal Paralysis
(incl. tax)
Laryngeal paralysis (LP) is a common and important presentation in the dog; despite this, the condition is often mis -diagnosed and few veterinarians feel confident enough to attempt the corrective surgery. The major reasons for this appear to be:
- Lack of familiarity with the functional anatomy of the larynx,
- A view that the remedial surgery is too complex to undertake and carries a high incidence of complications.
This webinar will use the medium of 3-D videos to:
- explain the mysteries of laryngeal functional anatomy,
- present a safe and simple surgery for the management of LP,
- highlight the reasons that other techniques often result in a high incidence of complications.
