My name is Manuel Fuertes Recuero. I have a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine with international mention from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). I am also a soft tissue surgeon at the Hospital Clínico Veterinario Complutense, and I am in the process of being accredited by AVEPA in the speciality of soft tissue surgery. I am a Professor in the Department of Animal Physiology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid. My scientific career has focused on soft tissue surgery, with particular interest in surgical site infection, minimally invasive surgery, perioperative pain management and veterinary zoology. I have participated in numerous scientific articles and projects, which have allowed me to be published in high-impact scientific journals and to present my work at international congresses, including the ECVS (European College of Veterinary Surgeons) Congress on two occasions.
