Area of Science:

Veterinary Surgery
Canine Neurology

Background:

The brachial plexus is crucial for forelimb function in dogs.
Surgical access to the canine brachial plexus can be challenging.
Accurate diagnosis of brachial plexus conditions is vital for treatment.

Observation:

A craniolateral surgical approach to the canine brachial plexus was developed.
This technique involves transection of the omotransversarius and potentially scalenus muscles.
The approach provides good surgical exposure.

Findings:

The described technique successfully facilitated the diagnosis of brachial plexus tumors in three dogs.
It also aided in diagnosing probable brachial plexus neuritis in one dog.
This highlights the diagnostic utility of the surgical approach.

Implications:

This surgical method can improve diagnostic capabilities for brachial plexus disorders in dogs.
It may lead to earlier and more accurate treatment of canine neurological conditions.
Further research can explore therapeutic applications of this approach.
