Doença de disco intervertebral (ddiv) em cães e suas principais técnicas cirúrgicas de descompressão: Revisão de literatura

Abstract

Intervertebral disc disease (IVD) is a common etiology of neurological dysfunction in dogs, being classified as Hansen type I, II and III. The resulting disc extrusions and protrusions are responsible for about 14% to 25% of intervertebral disc disorders in dogs, predominantly in chondrodystrophic breeds. Acute non-compressive extrusion of the nucleus pulposus or Han sen type III affects the disc of elderly chondrodystrophic dogs. Spinal canal decompression is the main treatment. The choice is made considering the region of the lesion, the size of the animal and the clinical signs presented. The main techniques are: ventral slot, fenestration, dorsal laminectomy, hemilaminectomy, pediculectomy (extended or partial). Thus, this mono graph aims to carry out a survey of data about the surgical techniques of spinal cord decom pression used in Intervertebral Disc Disease in dogs, as well as to evaluate the prognosis of these animals. This is a narrative literature review study, with data collection in CAPES, Jaa ha, PubMed, PubVet, Scielo, among others. Surgical procedures demonstrated an effective re covery in most dogs with IVDD. Animals after decompression surgery with the presence of physical stimuli, demonstrate neuromotor recovery rates above 80%. Therefore, the techni ques presented can provide rapid recovery and ensure
