Three techniques were compared in the ventral approach for removal of intervertebral disk material from the spinal canal. Of 29 dogs treated, 23 were walking normally the day after surgery and the remaining 6 dogs within 2-16 days. Of the 21 dogs followed up, 18 made excellent progress; one dog died 3 months after surgery.
