Aseptic and precise surgical techniques are essential components of a successful surgery. In spite of this, not all aspects of aseptic and delicate technique are often considered when planning for rodent surgery, thus leading to questionable outcomes.Implementation of these principles into a rodent surgical plan is especially challenging because there is still a misconception that rodents are less susceptible to infections and gentle technique requires appropriate training, equipment and instrumentation. Current regulations related to rodent surgery • Rodent aseptic practices • Precise and gentle surgical technique • Competency assessment of rodent aseptic technique • Guidance to rodent surgeons to formulate informed decisions regarding aseptic, appropriate tissue handling and gentle technique to maximize good surgical outcomes, improve research data, and ensure animal welfare. This interactive webinar is designed for any personnel involved in surgical training and performing surgery including but not limited to scientists, veterinary technicians, veterinarians, technical support staff and IACUC members. This webinar meets the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE), the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS), Canadian Association for Laboratory Animal Science (CALAS), and Academy of Surgical Science (ASR) requirements for Continuing Education Units. Each participant will receive Certificates of Attendance.
