Description
Florian Tyroller and co-authors review twelve cats treated surgically for slipped discs pressing on the spinal cord. The operation, partial lateral corpectomy, removes a window of vertebra from the side to relieve the squeeze. It is used in dogs, but feline evidence was thin.
Cases came from two university clinics and one private referral center, with scans before surgery for every cat. Most cats had severe cord compression, in the chest or lower back segments. Nine cats were scanned again to confirm the decompression, and neurological exams tracked recovery and complications. The series shows the procedure can be done safely in cats, with outcomes worth comparing against medical care.
