Hello pretty people :lotsaluv: I was wondering about something after reading the post on the lecture.
It us still very unclear to me what the number are, prognosis wise with the (titanium mesh) surgery. I know they have been doing it for only 5 years, but why are the numbers so unclear?
They are talking about "80 percent" success rate, and a 7 percent re-operation rate etc.. etc.. When do does numbers apply?
Somewhere online I read 50 percent of dogs still have a good quality of life two years post surgery? That just doesn't seem very high.. :bang:
Does anyone have a better view on the surgery success rate after two years or beyond? With success I mean stabilizing or minimal progression of the symptoms.
Thanks! Lynni*no:
