The extraordinary recovery of Ax: a case that inspires confidence and innovation in veterinary medicine
In the video shared here, you can witness the incredible progress of our special patient, Ax, following a revolutionary Spine Stabilization and Distraction System surgery performed using the innovative PEDRO System.
In the first part of the video, Ax is shown at 30 days post-surgery, and later at 45 days post-surgery: the recovery is remarkable, with an almost complete return to normalcy and a significantly improved quality of life.
This success was made possible thanks to the expertise and dedication of Dr. Omar Del Vecchio, who performed the procedure with exceptional precision and professionalism.
These results are not only a milestone for Ax but also a testament to the transformative potential of advanced technologies in the field of veterinary medicine.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Omar Del Vecchio and everyone who contributed to Ax's recovery.

In the video we share today, we tell the story of Rudy, a West Highland White Terrier with severe motor difficulties in his hind limbs due to a malformation in one of the meninges surrounding the spinal cord (subarachnoid diverticulum).
To help him, Dr. Omar Del Vecchio of the Caleidos Veterinary Center and his team performed surgery to remove the diverticulum and stabilize the area using right-sided unilateral vertebral distraction of the T8, T9, and T10 vertebrae with our innovative Pedro System.
The Pedro System continues to demonstrate its potential to improve the quality of life for our four-legged friends, enabling effective and minimally invasive surgical interventions.
The video shows Rudy's preoperative gait and the progress achieved just 14 days after surgery.

Innovation in the Operating Room: Overvet’s Pedro System for Spinal Stabilization
We are excited to share with you a video showcasing the incredible potential of our Pedro System, a technology developed by Overvet for spinal stabilization surgeries.
In the video, you can see how the Pedro System enables surgeons to perform delicate procedures with precision and safety, improving both treatment effectiveness and patient recovery.
The Pedro System is the result of years of research and development, designed to offer advanced solutions for veterinary and orthopedic surgeries, focusing on minimally invasive techniques and maximum post-operative stability.

It is not only an innovation in veterinary surgery, but above all an act of civilization towards the animal world, allowing our 4-legged friends to return to their lives!
This is the goal in designing our spinal fixation and distraction system to be used in lumbosacral stabilization.
In the video, we see an 8-year-old Labrador retriever in full recovery after 3 hours from the surgery.
Here are the details:
➡️ CLINICAL SIGNS: Relapsing low back pain without response to medical therapies.
➡️ RADIOGRAPHIC DIAGNOSIS: mild spondylolisthesis and spondylosis L7-S1 with increased radiopacity of formina.
➡️ MRI DIAGNOSIS: severe L7/S1 disc protrusion with compression of the cauda equina nerve roots, bilateral foraminal stenosis and ventral spondylosis. The resonance in traction highlights a lesion of a dynamic type (lumbo-sacral instability).
➡️ SURGERY: L7-S1 laminectomy, dorsal fenestration of the disc and removal of the disc protrusion, distraction and insertion of a cage into the disc space, L7/S1 stabilization with 2.4 mm titanium transarticular screws and 3.5 mm polyaxial pedicle screws.
➡️ POSTOPERATIVE RADIOGRAPHY: good L7-S1 alignment and vertebral distraction, cage positioned correctly, with opening of the foramina.
➡️ POSTOPERATIVE PROCESS: The patient gets up 3 hours after surgery and is discharged after 24 hours.
Thank you to Dr. Raffaele Gilardini, Medical Director of Clinica Veterinaria Città di Voghera.
