Hello, and welcome. I am Der. Jolle Kirpensteijn, and if you have found your way here, chances are you are a veterinary surgeon, a surgical resident, a student with a scalpel dream, or someone who simply cannot stop thinking about what happens in the operating room. This podcast is for you. Surgery is a discipline that rewards curiosity, humility, and the willingness to keep learning long after the diploma is on the wall. That is the spirit behind what we are building here, a space for conversation, reflection, and the kind of honest exchange that does not always fit neatly into a lecture hall or a journal article. We are just getting started, and there is a great deal more to come. Cases, conversations, controversies, and a few things that might surprise you. Stay with us. It is going to be a good one.
Episode 1: Surgical Oncology, Canadian Identity, Keynotes & Comedy with Dr. Sarah Boston. In this fun and thoughtful reboot of the Global Veterinary Surgery Podcast, Dr. Jolle Kirpensteijn welcomes his first guest: the brilliant and hilarious Dr. Sarah Boston, a veterinary surgical oncologist, author, and stand-up comedian.They kick things off with Jolle’s confession about ghosting his own podcast for a year (he blames only himself… and maybe podcasting burnout), and how a passionate resident fan reignited his commitment to bringing it back.Topics covered include:Surgical Oncology: Dr. Boston talks about her career, her work at Capital City Specialty & Emergency Animal Hospital in Ottawa, and her passion for innovation in surgery.The “Boston Plasty”: A clever, simplified approach to managing distal radial osteosarcoma in dogs using carpal arthrodesis—designed to be accessible, cost-effective, and practical.Being a Proud Canadian: With humorous takes on being from Canada, a sovereign country that never will be the 51st state, Sarah brings her signature wit while making a case for strong Canadian veterinary voices.Preparing for Keynotes: Jolle and Sarah discuss the emotional rollercoaster of preparing for big talks, from imposter syndrome to storytelling strategies (spoiler: PowerPoint slides with only photos and no words might be the way to go).Failures & Real Talk: Sarah shares insights from her “failure bio” and emphasizes the importance of being open about setbacks to inspire younger vets.Cats, Comedy & Ethics: Her keynote on feline-centered stories and the lessons they taught her takes center stage, and we learn how stand-up comedy can co-exist with clinical compassion (even when someone says “vagina” at a symposium).They wrap with favorite articles: Dr. Boston highlights a pivotal paper on mitotic index and mast cell tumors, as well as her own groundbreaking study on radical mandibulectomy in cats—despite the spicy letter to the editor it once earned.

We are back with a great interview with Dr. Karen Perry from Michigan State University, discussing everything you always wanted to know about patella luxations in dogs and cats. I also discuss a great article about gorilla glue and what happens when a dog (cats would never do that!) eats it. Last but not least, some news about cannabis usage and fat pet risks.
In this exciting podcast, we speak with Dr. Nick Bacon from the UK about the efficiency of CTs in diagnosing soft tissue sarcoma metastasis. Nick explains to us that it is not always useful to do a CT and tells us when we should and should not spend our money on CTs.
