What is UNC-CHs policy on survival surgery?
Survival surgery on all research animals except cold-blooded animals and rodents must be done in a dedicated surgical facility approved by the IACUC. The Division manages a suite of 4 operating rooms in Berryhill for this purpose. Call the Veterinary Technician staff at 966-2906 or check DLAM Veterinary and Technical Services to learn more about these services. Survival surgery in rodents does not require a special facility but must be performed using sterile instruments, surgical gloves, and aseptic techniques to prevent clinical infections. The IACUC Standard Operating Procedures web page has detailed information on techniques, analgesia, etc.
