Abstract
Background: Spinal surgical interventions are generally used in the treatment of various spinal pathologies such as vertebral fracture, luxation-subluxation, congenital vertebral deformities, discal hernia, infection and tumor. Minimally invasive spinal surgery contributes to rapid recovery by reducing iatrogenic muscle damage and postoperative pain. In minimally invasive spinal surgery, a new hybrid imaging technique, the exoscope, has been developed in the last decade. The purpose of this study was to report efficacy of the exoscopic micro-decompressive spinal surgery (MDSS) and its early postoperative electromyography (EMG) results in dogs.
