Accuracy and safety of drilling screw corridors percutaneously by two surgeons from T8 to L7 in a large breed dog using neuronavigation were established by comparing entry and exit points coordinates deviations on multiplanar reconstructions between preoperative and postoperative datasets and using a vertebral cortical breach grading scheme.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Feasibility of minimally invasive stabilization was demonstrated. For the experienced surgeon, safety was 100% and mean (standard deviation) entry point deviations were 0.3\u2009mm (0.8\u2009mm) lateral, 1.3\u2009mm (0.8\u2009mm) ventral and 0.7\u2009mm (1.8\u2009mm) caudal. The exit points deviations were 0.8\u2009mm (1.9\u2009mm) lateral, 0.02\u2009mm (0.9\u2009mm) dorsal and 0.7\u2009mm (2.0\u2009mm) caudal. Significant difference in accuracy between surgeons was found in the thoracic region but not in the lumbar region. Accuracy and safety improvement are noted for the thoracic region when procedures were repeated by the novice.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003This proof of concept demonstrates that
