Craniectomies for dogs with skull multilobular osteochondrosarcoma using the Misonix bone scalpel: cadaveric evaluation and retrospective case series.

Piezoelectric bone surgery with the Misonix bone scalpel is an alternative technology to perform craniectomies in dogs. It was not associated with complications in 3 dogs diagnosed and surgically treated for MLO. Dural tears and suspected bone necrosis can occur. Great care should be taken when using CT to establish disease free surgical osteotomy.
