Summary
Joining myself and Brian in our virtual studio we are delighted to have Associate Professor Karla Lee, who is the head of our soft tissue surgery team here at the RVC. Karla has many interests in surgery though we thought we would catch up with her on her thoughts about minimally invasive surgery in small animals, the pros and cons and what to get started with. Is this the future for small animal surgery? We hope that you enjoy.

| 0:00.0 | Good day. Dominic Barfield here and this is the RVC clinical podcast. Thank you for listening |
| 0:04.0 | and thank you for subscribing on your smartphone or generic fruit-based device. We're really |
| 0:07.9 | grateful for you taking the time to download and listen to this RVC podcast. And we don't |
| 0:11.6 | ask so much in return, but we're incredibly grateful if you could pop to Apple podcast or Acast or |
| 0:15.4 | wherever you're listening to this podcast and leave us a review. Obviously, a five-star review would be great trying to get this information |
| 0:21.3 | out to the people that want to listen to it. But we really appreciate if you could take a couple |
| 0:25.2 | of moments of your time to leave us to review. So we're still remotely recording. Obviously, |
| 0:30.2 | with the current pandemic, makes sense. And so joining Brian and myself remotely, we have |
| 0:36.7 | Associate Professor Small Animal Surgery, Dr. Carla Lee, |
| 0:39.5 | joining us. So, Carla, how are you? Hello. I'm very well. Thank you. Yes. |
| 0:45.2 | And it's taking me a while to manage to get you into the remote sort of studio. But I know you're |
| 0:51.4 | very interested in minimally evasive surgery and I thought that would be the |

| 0:59.0 | So could I first ask what do we actually mean by minimally invasive surgery? |
| 1:07.0 | So it's whereby we use cameras to look inside the thorax or the abdomen. And so we can, this allows us to use much smaller incisions to do abdominal and thoracic surgery. And so is this the same thing as like a video assisted surgery? |
| 1:29.3 | So yes, so it's the same as video assisted surgery, which could be seen as endoscopic surgery |
| 1:35.3 | because indeed we're using endoscopes, a form of endoscope, so rigid scopes, to look into the thorax and abdomen. |
| 1:42.3 | So it's the same as video assisted, yes. |
| 1:44.9 | And is there quite a lot of equipment that one needs for this, Carla, or is it, you know, apart from |
| 1:51.7 | like the video sort of equipment? So you do need an initial setup, yes. If you're already |
| 1:58.9 | using endoscopy in your practice, you may already have lots of the |
| 2:02.6 | equipment. So you need a video camera unit with a light source and you need a monitor to view |
