Integrated endoscopic thoracolumbar mini-hemilaminectomy and lateral corpectomy in cadaver dogs.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of minimally invasive integrated endoscopic mini-hemilaminectomy and thoracolumbar lateral corpectomy at six intervertebral disc spaces in the canine thoracolumbar vertebral column. STUDY
designExperimental, randomized cadaveric study. ANIMALS: Eight cadaver dogs euthanized for reasons unrelated to this study.
methodsPreoperative computed tomography (CT) scans were performed for surgical planning. Using an endoscopic system, mini-hemilaminectomy and thoracolumbar lateral corpectomy were performed from the T11-12 through L3-4 intervertebral disc spaces, with cadavers in sternal recumbency or positioned at a 30°-60° angle. Postoperative CT scans were used to measure corpectomy dimensions as a percentage of total vertebral dimensions.
resultsMedian ± interquartile range (IQR) corpectomy dimensions were 23.07% ± 16.47% of vertebral body length, 46.76% ± 21.7% of vertebral body height, and 74.44% ± 47.37% of vertebral canal diameter. Targeted dimensions were achieved at all surgical sites from T11-12 through L3-4.
conclusionIntegrated endoscopic thoracolumbar lateral corpectomy was successfully performed at all intervertebral disc spaces from T11-12 through L3-4 using an endoscopic system, although thoracic sites required more practice. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This pilot study will guide further clinical applications of minimally invasive neurosurgery in small animal patients.
