Prophylactic Percutaneous Laser Disc Ablation (PLDA) in IVDD at Risk Dogs with Megan Doyle
About this episode
The episode discusses prophylactic percutaneous laser disc ablation in dogs at risk for IVDD, exploring studies on the procedure and its implications for veterinary rehabilitation.
In this week's episode, we revisit a Journal Club presented by Ané Lloyd and Megan Doyle from SAAPRA. Together, they explore two key studies on prophylactic percutaneous laser disc ablation (PLDA), discussing what the procedure involves, when it may be indicated, and the outcomes that can be expected. The conversation covers recurrence rates, potential complications, and how PLDA compares to fenestration and no prophylactic treatment. They also translate the research into practical takeaways for vet rehabbers, including how to support dogs following PLDA and what the procedure may mean for long-term spinal health and rehabilitation.
