Complications and episodes of a recurrence\nof neurologic signs (eg, paresis or paralysis)\nwere recorded. Owners were contacted by telephone\nfor follow-up information.<\/jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t<jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2014Nine of 262 (3.4%) dogs for which followup\ninformation was available had a recurrence of paresis\nor paralysis. Follow-up time ranged from 1 to 85\nmonths (mean, 15 months); signs recurred between\n3 and 52 months (mean, 15.1 months) after laser disk\nablation. Acute complications occurred in 5 dogs and\nincluded mild pneumothorax in 1 dog, an abscess at\na needle insertion site in 1 dog, and proprioceptive\ndeficits in 3 dogs, 1 of which required hemilaminectomy\nwithin 1 week because of progression and\nseverity of neurologic signs. One dog developed\ndiskospondylitis.<\/jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t<jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Results suggest\nthat prophylactic percutaneous laser disk ablation\nis associated with few complications and may\nreduce the risk of recurrence of signs of intervertebral\ndisk disease in dogs.
