Abstract
Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is a minimally invasive technique for treatment of lumbar disc herniation in human medicine. There is little information available concerning PLDD usage in dogs. The article describes treatment of a disc protrusion in a dog with percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD). To the authors’ knowledge the presented technique is described here for the first time in a dog with thoracolumbar disc herniation. The surgical procedure was performed in a dog with Th13-L1 disc protrusion using a photofiber device, which was inserted into the intervertebral space under C-arm control. The purpose of this report is to evaluate PLDD effectiveness in Hansen type II disc herniation in a dog.
