2024 ACVS Surgery Summit On-Demand Content: During this seminar, speakers discuss the pathophysiology of both naturally occurring and surgically inflicted trauma, and optimal timing of surgical intervention in trauma management.
Summit on-demand content will be available 21 days after the conclusion of the 2024 ACVS Surgery Summit.
Naturally occurring trauma, as well as the trauma resulting from invasive surgical procedures, result in systemic responses that follow similar physiologic pathways and affect patient outcomes. In this context, surgical goals include not only correcting the original traumatic injury but also minimizing the “second hit” resulting from the applied surgical intervention. During this seminar, speakers discuss the pathophysiology of both naturally occurring and surgically inflicted trauma, and optimal timing of surgical intervention in trauma management. Case-based discussions present the current standards of trauma management, and the seminar culminates in a fast-paced morbidity and mortality rounds centered on surgical trauma.

Professor of Surgery
University of Georgia
Dr. Budsberg received his DVM from Washington State University in 1983. He completed an internship at Angell Memorial in Boston and his residency in 1987 in small animal surgery at Michigan State University. Dr. Budsberg spent time at Louisiana State University before joining the faculty at the University of Georgia. Currently, Dr. Budsberg is a professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology.
B. Duncan X. Lascelles, BVSc, PhD, DACVS
Professor of Surgery and Pain Management
North Carolina State University
After graduating from the veterinary program at the University of Bristol, U.K., with honors, in 1991 Dr. Lascelles completed a PhD in aspects of pre-emptive/perioperative analgesia at the University of Bristol. After an internship, he completed his surgical residency at the University of Cambridge, U.K. He moved to Colorado for the Fellowship in Oncological Surgery at Colorado State University. He is currently the Dr. J. McNeely and Lynne K. DuBose Distinguished Professor of Musculoskeletal Health at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. He is board-certified in small animal surgery by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, the European College of Veterinary Surgeons, and the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. He is director of the Comparative Pain Research and Education Centre (CPREC). His research program (Translational Research in Pain [TRiP]) is dedicated to answering critical questions about pain control and pain mechanisms through high quality, innovative research. His career has been focused on developing algometry methods (methods to measure pain) in spontaneous disease animal models (pets with naturally occurring disease), and probing tissues from well-phenotyped animals with spontaneous disease to understand the neurobiology, with a strong translational focus. The aim of his research is to improve pain control in companion animals, and facilitate analgesic development in human medicine. He has authored over 230 peer reviewed research papers and reviews and 500 research abstracts, as well as over 30 book chapters. He has a collaborative research program that focuses on the relationship between pain and cancer progression, and the neurobiology of oral cancer pain.
