A 22-year-old wombat successfully underwent an extremely rare hip replacement surgery in Australia and is expected to make a full recovery.

“I personally haven’t seen a hip issue in a wombat like this before,” Jenny McLellan, a veterinarian at the Adelaide Zoo, said in a video posted to YouTube by ITN Productions.

Wanda the wombat is part of the Adelaide Conservation Ark program. The “Wombat Wranglers” team at the zoo seeks to provide researchers with a better understanding of the species, which spends the majority of the day living underground.

At 22, Wanda has already greatly exceeded the average lifespan of a wombat, which is typically five to 15 years — though there's reportedly a 25-year-old wombat named Chewbacca living in captivity in Japan.

Wanda’s physical condition deteriorated recently, forcing her to rely on one leg for movement. This is reportedly the first time a hip replacement surgery has been performed on an animal like this.

“In a dog and a cat, it’s pretty easy to do,” said specialist surgeon Scott Rose who helped perform the procedure. “If you have a wombat with a lot of musculature around their hips, the approach can be a little more challenging.”
