Man's best friend to benefit from new surgical technique

Abstract

Dr Japie Venter, who specialises in small-animal surgery at the University of Pretoria’s Faculty of Veterinary Science, is a master of his craft. Not only has he developed a new technique for preventative hip dysplasia surgery, but he is also embarking on small-animal surgeries that have rarely been done before. This makes him one of the few small-animal surgeons in the world with these credentials.
