A total of 52 dogs diagnosed with thoracolumbar intervertebral disk herniation were enrolled. The tibial nerve somatosensory evoked potential elicited on the scalp by stimulation of the tibial nerve was recorded before and during hemilaminectomy. Both the amplitude and latency of the somatosensory evoked potential were periodically registered, and the percentage changes from the pre-operative control values (amplitude rate and latency rate) were calculated. When the multifidus muscles were retracted after removal from the spinous processes and vertebrae, the somatosensory evoked potential amplitude rate decreased in all dogs, while the latency rate increased in 33 dogs examined. The amplitude rate remained unchanged during the halting procedure, loosening retraction, and hemilaminectomy. After removing the disc material from the spinal canal, the amplitude rate was increased. The somatosensory evoked potential latency increased when the multifidus muscles were retracted and shortened after multifidus muscles closure in four cases. The outcome of all cases showed improvement in clinical signs 7 days after operation. Spinal cord conduction is impaired by retraction of the multifidus muscles and improved by removal of disk materials. Maintaining intraoperative SEP amplitudes above 50% of control may help avoid additional spinal cord injury during surgery. Since we have no case that worsened after the surgery, however, further studies are necessary to confirm this proposal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2022.976972","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,15]],"date-time":"2022-09-15T02:10:56Z","timestamp":1663207856000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Somatosensory evoked potentials of the tibial nerve during the surgical decompression of thoracolumbar intervertebral disk herniation in dogs"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Seiichi","family":"Okuno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hirotaka","family":"Katahira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kensuke","family":"Orito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"121","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-7234-3209-8.50012-1","article-title":"Thoracolumbar disk disease","volume-title":"Small Animal Spinal Disorders: Diagnosis and Surgery","author":"Sharp","year":"2005"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"833","DOI":"10.1016\/S0195-5616(92)50079-1","article-title":"Electrodiagnostic examination.
