Computed tomography after myelography (CTM) was performed pre- and postoperatively on four dogs diagnosed as having cervical intervertebral disc protrusion. The surgery was performed by ventral slot technique in all the cases. The direction of the ventral slot was precisely adjusted according to the location of the protruded discs as seen on CTM. Postoperative values for the transversal area of the spinal cord were greater than those measured preoperatively, suggesting effective decompression of the cord. The prognosis for these patients was excellent. In view of these results, it was considered that preoperative confirmation of the positional relationship between the spinal cord and the protruded disc by CTM was quite useful in planning the surgical technique for disc disease in the dog.
对四只被诊断为颈椎间盘突出症的犬在术前和术后进行了脊髓造影后计算机断层扫描（CTM）。所有病例均采用腹侧开槽技术进行手术。根据CTM上所见突出椎间盘的位置，精确调整腹侧开槽的方向。术后脊髓横截面积值大于术前测量值，表明脊髓减压有效。这些患者的预后良好。鉴于这些结果，认为术前通过CTM确认脊髓与突出椎间盘之间的位置关系对于规划犬椎间盘疾病的手术技术非常有用。
