Ventral slot surgery is used in dogs to decompress the cervical spine after an intervertebral disc extrusion(being forced or pressed out). The spinal cord is approached from the front of the neck. A small spinal burr is used to burr away a small slot of bone in the vertebral bodies so that compressive disc material can be removed.
