Carl Damiani Season 1 Episode 2

In this Surgical Spotlight episode of the Simini Surgery Review, we break down Dr. Mandy Wallace’s updated review on the surgical management of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS).

We cover emerging trends in soft palate surgery, new techniques for nares correction, updates on post-op management, and what current research says about outcomes. If you’re seeing bulldogs, Frenchies, or pugs in practice, this is information you need to hear.
