Computed tomography of L7\u2010S1 was performed preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and at 12 weeks. Parasagittal foramen area (PFA) measurements were obtained at the entry, middle, and exit zones of the treated and control foramen for each period. Objective and subjective data were compared among dogs by time period and treatment status.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2014<\/jats:bold>Endoscopic\u2010assisted foraminotomy resulted in a significant increase in the mean PFA of the entry and middle zones immediately postoperatively. The exit zone was not significantly larger at any time. The foramen remained significantly larger at 12 weeks only in the middle zone; however, some decrease in the surgically created foramen enlargement occurred at all 3 levels. The procedure was well tolerated but dogs did have transient, mild delay of functional return postoperatively.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:bold>Endoscopic\u2010assisted foraminotomy in dogs can be performed for certain foraminal regions, allowing enhanced visibility of the spinal canal. The foramen can be surgically enlarged at the entry and middle zones using this technique; however, some reduction of the foraminal enlargement occurs by 12 weeks. The clinical implications of this reduction cannot be determined from this study.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Clinical Relevance\u2014<\/jats:bold>Endoscopic\u2010assisted foraminotomy could be used
