Postoperative CT myelography confirmed that spinal cord decompression, postoperative spinal cord area, and the ratios of compressed to normal spinal cord area improved significantly compared with preoperative measurements (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.01). Sinus bleeding occurred in 20% of dogs. The mean ratios (\u00b1 SD) of ventral slot length and width compared with vertebral body length and width were 0.21\u2009\u00b1\u20090.08 and 0.31\u2009\u00b1\u20090.07, respectively.
