The Role of Fenestration in Management of Type I Thoracolumbar Disk Degeneration
Abstract
Fenestration offers the advantages of prophylaxis without the need for specialized instrumentation and imaging. Currently there is a lack of equipoise regarding the efficacy of fenestration relative to decompression for treatment of acute canine intervertebral disk herniation; most veterinary spinal surgeons do not consider the 2 procedures equivalently efficacious. Therapeutic fenestration should perhaps be given greater consideration, especially if advanced imaging shows only mild to moderate spinal cord compression or there are restrictions on the duration of surgery, when it might be better to spend the time on fenestration rather than decompression.
Keywords: Decompressive surgery; Intervertebral disk fenestration; Therapeutic fenestration; Thoracolumbar intervertebral disk herniation.
