Based on the clinical findings, the injury was localized to the fourth lumbar-first sacral spinal cord segment. The orthogonal spinal radiographs and computed tomography examination showed several metal pellet fragments within the vertebral canal of the sixth lumbar vertebra. A left mini-hemilaminectomy of the sixth lumbar vertebra pedicle combined with a mini dorsal laminectomy over the sixth to seventh lumbar vertebrae disc space were performed. A 2.4 mm 30\u00b0 arthroscope was then introduced within the spinal canal to improve visibility and help with the fragment extraction. The cat was discharged from the hospital five days after surgery and the owners were encouraged to continue passive and active physiotherapy movements.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: The cat was ambulatory with a plantigrade stance eight weeks following surgery. At the last follow-up examination (24 months postoperatively), the cat was able to jump on chairs, although intermittent urinary and faecal incontinence, proprioceptive deficits, and plantigrade stance were still present.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Clinical significance: Decompressive surgery may promote neurological status improvement following spinal gunshot injury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3415\/vcot-16-02-0025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,29]],"date-time":"2016-07-29T08:36:36Z","timestamp":1469781396000},"page":"439-443","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Video-assisted removal of metal pellet fragments from the vertebral canal following gunshot injury and long-term outcome in a cat"],"prefix":"10.3415","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Luis","family":"Matres-Lorenzo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"Bernard\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabrice","family":"Bernard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.3415\/VCOT-16-02-0025-1","unstructured":"Marioni K, Vite C, Van Winkle T.
