Ureteroneocystostomy in Cats
This lecture, delivered by DrJolle, reviews a JAVMA article from April 2026 titled "Ureteroneocystostomy as a Treatment for Benign Ureteral Obstruction and Ectopic Ureter in Cats: Thirty-Seven Cases." The retrospective study of 37 cases from the Ryan Veterinary Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania evaluates outcomes and complications of ureteroneocystostomy. Findings indicate this surgery is a viable treatment for benign ureteral obstructions and extramural ectopic ureters in cats, with a long median survival time (1980 days) and a relatively low complication rate compared to alternatives such as subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) devices or stents. Preoperative azotemia (elevated BUN, creatinine, and phosphorus) was a significant risk factor for increased 30-day mortality. Ureteral stents, when used, were commonly associated with long-term complications necessitating removal.

How to deal with the end of life of a pet as a surgeon?
I was lucky enough to attend the AVMA Convention 2026 in Anaheim, California, a city known for a few things, and yes, Disney is one of them (though I'll admit I never made it past the parking lot). One of the things I got to do there was host a full day dedicated to podcasts: Veterinary Podcast Day, the first of its kind. It was a joy to bring together so many voices in our profession who are using this format to teach, connect, and just talk shop in a more human way. The Veterinary Surgery Podcast was one of the shows highlighted that day, and I had the chance to sit down with Dr. Ken Gorczyca for a conversation about end of life care, a topic that doesn't get nearly enough airtime in veterinary surgery circles, but touches every single one of us in practice. It was honest, a little heavy, and ultimately a conversation I think a lot of people needed to hear. You can find the video episode here: https://vimeo.com/1209703458/ff9d619656

Introduction to the Veterinary Surgery Podcast
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.

VSPC 25-01 Sarah Boston
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.
