This is quite interesting:

And perhaps would be of relevance to decompressions in cavaliers. Rather than entirely cutting through the dura, the stiff band of tissue that encircles the brain, the surgical team peeled back the first layer -- and had results comparable to more invasive decompressions. As the formation of scar tissue often causes the complications with regular decompressions, and this method seems to stop scar tissue formation, prhaps ths would be a good compromise.
