To compare the recovery times and complication rates between the standard ventral slot and the modified slanted ventral slot for the treatment of cervical disc disease in dogs with the same neurological grade.
A retrospective analysis of an equal number of cervical disc cases for each procedure was carried out specifically to determine the recovery times and complication rates. To allow for meaningful comparison only dogs that had the same neurological grade were selected. Outcomes were determined by time to recover and the resolution of symptoms and complications were graded in terms of severity.
The standard ventral slot cases had a higher complication rate than the modified slanted slot cases with one case dying in the postoperative period. However, the modified slanted slot cases on average had a marginally slower recovery time than standard ventral slot cases.
Ventral decompression using the modified slanted slot instead of the standard ventral slot will allow for spinal decompression with potentially less destabilisation, and incur a similar incidence of complications and rate of recovery.
比较标准腹侧开槽术与改良斜腹侧开槽术在治疗神经学分级相同的犬颈椎间盘疾病时的恢复时间和并发症发生率。
对每种手术方式的同等数量的颈椎间盘病例进行回顾性分析，以明确恢复时间和并发症发生率。仅选择神经学分级相同的犬进行有意义的比较。通过恢复时间来确定结果，并根据严重程度对症状和并发症的缓解情况进行分级。
标准腹侧开槽术病例的并发症发生率高于改良斜腹侧开槽术病例，有1例在术后死亡。然而，改良斜腹侧开槽术病例的平均恢复时间比标准腹侧开槽术病例略慢。
使用改良斜腹侧开槽术而非标准腹侧开槽术进行腹侧减压，可能在脊柱减压时减少失稳，并产生相似的并发症发生率和恢复率。
