Hemilaminectomy and laminectomy are decompressive procedures commonly used in case of lumbar spinal stenosis, which involve the removal of the posterior elements of the spine. These procedures may compromise the stability of the spine segment and create critical strains in the intervertebral discs. Thus, this study aimed to investigate if decompres...

Objective We report our experience with the use of hemilaminectomy approach for the removal of benign intraspinal tumors. Method A retrospective review of 1,067 patients who underwent hemilaminectomy in our hospital between 2013 and 2019 was analyzed. Baseline medical data were collected. One hundred sixteen patients were excluded due to degenerati...

A 7-year-old female spayed domestic shorthair cat was presented with a history of progressive pelvic limb ataxia. A CT scan of the thoracic spine identified an extradural, left lateralised and compressive soft tissue mass at the level of T9. A decompressive hemilaminectomy at the level of T8-T10 and tissue sampling of the mass were performed. Histo...

Reherniation and reoperation rates of 4.5%-36% are reported in canine patients treated for intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH). Decision-making for surgical reintervention can prove challenging, especially since common postoperative changes are poorly described on MRI. The purpose of this single-center, retrospective, descriptive study was to des...

This study aimed to identify the impact on spinal cord integrity and determine the electrophysiological safety level during surgery for thoracolumbar intervertebral disk herniation in dogs. A total of 52 dogs diagnosed with thoracolumbar intervertebral disk herniation were enrolled. The tibial nerve somatosensory evoked potential elicited on the sc...

Acute intervertebral disk extrusion (IVDE) is one of the most commonly reported neurologic disorders seen in veterinary practice. There is a recognized subset of IVDE cases that have a hemorrhagic inflammatory reaction within the epidural space that causes compression in addition to compression from herniated disk material. Previous reports have be...
