Today we are in the studio talking to Patrick Kenny and Joe Fenn. Patrick started the hypophysectomy surgery program back in 2012 and both he and Joe have performed many hypophysectomies in cats as they work with the Diabetic Remission Clinic here at the RVC. Pat has moved back to Sydney and is keen to start offering this surgery where he is now working at the Small Animal Specialist Hospital (SASH). Joe (lecturer here at the RVC in neurology and neurosurgery) is the lead surgeon for this procedure at the RVC and already challenging Patrick with the numbers of surgeries that he has performed. Though it is not all about the numbers! We talk about some of the challenges, risks and complications as well as why you would consider this procedure for your patients.
