Article Synopsis
- This study compares two surgical techniques, durotomy and durotomy plus myelotomy, aimed at reducing elevated intraspinal pressure (ISP) after traumatic spinal cord injury in a rodent model.
- Both surgical options effectively decreased ISP and showed significant benefits for preserving spinal tissue and motor neurons, with myelotomy enhancing tissue sparing by 13.7% compared to durotomy alone.
- Additionally, while both surgeries improved spinal function, only durotomy alone helped recover bladder control, highlighting the need for targeted treatment strategies in future spinal injury cases.

Escape maneuvers are essential to the survival and fitness of many animals. Escapes are frequently initiated when an animal is already in motion. This may introduce constraints that alter the escape performance.
