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.

0:00.0 | Gooday, Dominic Barfield here, and this is the LVC Clinical Podcast. Thank you for listening and |
0:03.9 | thank you for subscribing on your smartphone or generic fruit-phrase device. Really grateful |
0:08.1 | for you taking the time to download and listen to this, obviously, podcast. We don't |
0:11.1 | ask for much in return. Though we'd be incredibly grateful if you could pop-dap or podcast, iTunes, |
0:15.3 | and leave us review. Obviously, if I star review would be great. Sadly, I don't have actually any more reviews to read out today, but hopefully next week we'll keep our metrics that we'll identify with one day and be able to |
0:27.0 | understand. I'll probably do a podcast on the analytics, but it basically makes it easier for |
0:32.4 | others to find us and access this information to get it out to the people who'd like to listen |
0:37.4 | to it. But we'd really |
0:38.5 | appreciate your time if you could spend a few minutes to give us a review. So, I'm joined today |
0:44.4 | in the studio by not one, but two eminent neurosurgeons, so we have Dr. Patrick Kenny on my left. |
0:51.7 | Hello, Patrick. And Patrick was at the RVC for a number of years, just shy of a decade, but is now working at the Small Angles Specialist Hospital in Sydney. So thank you for coming back and joining us in the studio. |
1:03.8 | Thank you, Dom. And also, to my right, we have Joe Fen, who is one of our lecturers here in neurology and neurosurgery, and try to fill |
1:13.1 | the void that is left by Patrick, but obviously this is a podcast. We can't see that Pat is actually |
1:17.7 | six foot five, and Joe is not. But neither of mine. |
1:21.5 | It's big shoes to fill. It's big shoes to fill, indeed. So what was thought about |
1:27.0 | talking to you, kind gentlemen, thank you for giving |
1:29.8 | your time today, is really to ask about hypophysectomies, because I know it's both in your |
1:36.8 | interest and your sphere of expertise. So now, it's not a numbers game, and Patrick, you've been doing these hypersectomy |
1:46.5 | for a while now, but you said you're 45 cats and three dogs, is that right? |
1:52.5 | 46 cats and five dogs. Not that it's a competition. |
1:56.4 | Not that it's a competition at all. And Joe, I wouldn't even embarrass myself to try and remember her. |
2:01.7 | You're up to just a mere 25 cats and three dogs. |
