Abstract

Lateral laminectomy was performed far spinal decompression in 7 thoracolumbar disc herniated dogs. These dogs showed upper motor neurologic signs including kyphosisi urinary dysfunction, and paraplegia or paralysis in hindlimbs. The lesions were evaluated with myelographic findings and predominated in $T_{12}-T_{13}, T_{13}-L_{1} and L_{1}-L_{2}$ discs. Five dogs which were operated within 48 hours after the onset of paraplegia were recovered from kyphosis and sustained the normal gait and walkings furthermore normal urination and defecation were presented within 3 days of postoperation. One dog was expired with steroid induced intestinal bleeding. The other dog operated on 96 hours after the onset of paraplegia was not recovered from neurologic deficits. Spinal decompression technique was considered to be useful method fur improving neurological problems resulted firom thoracolumbar disc herniation, if dogs are operated on early stage of the onset of paraplegia.
