Databases were reviewed from 2012 to 2022 for dogs that had a dorsal laminectomy to treat a lateralised cervical IVDE. Dogs were excluded if additional surgical techniques were performed, or other comorbidities were found on MRI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty two dogs were included the study. French bulldogs represented 28.8% of the cohort. Patient median age was 6 years and median weight 15 kg. Thirty-five dogs (67.3%) presented clinical signs for &amp;lt;3 days and almost half (44.2%) were ambulatory but presented cervical pain and neurological deficits. Median surgical time was 85 min. Minor intraoperative complications were reported in 22 (42.3%), with hypothermia being the most common. Thirteen (25%) needed revision surgery due to persistent cervical pain with (9\/13) or without (4\/13) neurological deficits. Re-extrusion or persistent extrusion was found in 92.3% of cases needing surgical revision. Median hospitalization time was 6 days. Forty-seven (90.4%) cases had a good outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions and clinical significance<\/jats:title><jats:p>Despite the relatively high rate of intraoperative complications and cases needing revision surgery, dorsal laminectomy as surgical treatment for lateralised cervical IVDE is still associated with good long-term prognosis in most of cases. Prognosis is good even when revision surgery is necessary but expected hospitalization time seems to be higher when compared to an alternative surgical technique.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2024.1365020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,22]],"date-time":"2024-04-22T05:09:30Z","timestamp":1713762570000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Dorsal
