Summary

Multiple thoracolumbar partial lateral corpectomies (TLPLCs) effectively treat ventral spinal cord compression in dogs with intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). This procedure offers neurological improvement and walking ability without causing significant spinal instability.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Canine Neurology
  • Spinal Surgery

Background:

  • Ventral spinal cord compression in dogs is often caused by intervertebral disc disease (IVDD).
  • Previous studies suggested potential spinal instability after single thoracolumbar partial lateral corpectomy (TLPLC).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and outcomes of multiple TLPLCs for dogs with ventral spinal cord compression due to IVDD.
  • To evaluate neurological recovery and spinal stability following multiple TLPLCs.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of dogs undergoing multiple TLPLCs for ventral spinal cord compression from IVDD.
  • Computed tomography (CT)-myelography used to assess spinal cord compression and decompression.
  • Neurological outcome evaluated using a modified Frankel Score and owner questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Seventeen dogs underwent multiple TLPLCs (2-4 procedures).
  • 64.7% of dogs showed neurological improvement at 4 weeks post-surgery.
  • 78.5% of dogs regained normal walking ability within 6 months.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple TLPLCs are a feasible treatment for dogs with multiple ventral spinal cord compressions from IVDD.
  • The procedure can effectively decompress the spinal cord without causing significant instability.
  • Multiple TLPLCs provide a positive neurological outcome for affected dogs.
