Geddy the dog successfully undergoes groundbreaking neurosurgery

A rescue dog named Geddy has become the first canine to undergo advanced neurosurgery using augmented reality technology. The 8-year-old terrier mix had been suffering from seizures and was diagnosed with a brain lesion suspected to be a tumor. The surgery, performed at Penn Vet, utilized a special dye and augmented reality to help surgeons identify and remove the tumor. Geddy's procedure lasted about five hours and was successful, with no complications reported. Post-surgery scans showed no signs of tumor regrowth, and genetic testing ruled out the aggressive glioma. Geddy is recovering well and will continue to be monitored with periodic MRI imaging.
