PRESS RELEASE: WORLD FIRST ROBOTIC FUNCTIONALITY SURGERY A GAME CHANGER FOR DOGS

Latest Press Release

Little known fact:- Gastric Torsion, or twisting of the stomach, is a common and often-fatal condition of large and giant breed dogs, with 40% of some breeds being affected.

Gastric torsions can occur at any time, progress rapidly and death can occur within hours. Traditional emergency treatment and surgery doesn’t guarantee a successful outcome still having 30% mortality rates.

Melbourne family the Hutchinson’s lost their beloved Bernese Mountain Dog to gastric torsion. When they got their new puppy, Alfie, they did not want the same thing to happen again. In pursuit of prevention rather than cure, they actively sought a way to ensure this.

Gastropexy is a surgery with near 100% success in preventing gastric torsion. Traditionally, it involves a full open abdominal surgery with associated postoperative pain, and complications like infection and wound breakdown.

This week Melbourne veterinary surgeon, Dr. Charles Kuntz performed the world’s first FlexDex robotic gastropexy.

State of the art technology even in human surgery, the FlexDex allows robotic functionality without the expense of a $3,000,000 robotic surgery system. The entire surgery is performed through a couple of keyhole incisions with techniques such as suturing within the abdomen made quick, natural and intuitive, resulting in vastly reduced procedure times, less postoperative pain and fewer complications.

Alfie went home the same day.

Aran Hutchinson, Alfie’s “Dad” reports “He was a bit groggy the night of surgery, but was back to 100% the next day.”
