Study Notes

Surgical Approach and Anesthesia

  • 31 cases used a transpalpebral approach, while 5 cases used a subconjunctival approach for enucleation.
  • Anesthesia was not specified in 2 case histories.

Anesthesia Techniques

  • General anesthesia was used in 35 cases (97%), often combined with regional anesthesia in 31 cases (89%).
  • Sedation with regional anesthesia was used in 1 case, while 2 cases did not report anesthesia techniques.

Regional Anesthesia Methods

  • Peterson block (14 cases) or 4-point retrobulbar block (16 cases) were used for regional anesthesia.
  • Auriculopalpebral block (12 cases) and/or local infiltration of eyelids (8 cases) were also used.

Anesthesia Complications

  • Anesthesia-related complications occurred in 12 cases (33%).
  • Complications included regurgitation of ruminal contents (6 cases), inadequate anesthesia or sedation (5 cases), and severe bradycardia (4 cases).

Post-Operative Care

  • Systemic antibiotics and NSAIDs were administered in 37 cases for 6±2 days and 5±2 days, respectively.
  • The hospital stay after surgery lasted 8±6 days.

Complications and Recurrence

  • Post-operative complications occurred in 11 cases (29%), including 9 cases of ischemic syndrome and 3 cases of recurrent COCE.

Discussion

  • Non-neoplastic ocular diseases appear to be a more common indication for enucleation or exenteration in cattle in Switzerland compared to previous reports.
  • More than half of the bovine population (55.3%) in this study was diagnosed with non-neoplastic ocular lesions, mainly severe traumatism with loss of ocular content.

Breed-Specific COCE Susceptibility

  • The lack of Hereford breed in the study population may contribute to the difference in COCE prevalence compared to previous reports.
  • The Hereford breed is known to be predisposed to COCE development due to genetic and hereditary factors.

Environmental Factors

  • High levels of ultraviolet radiation in Switzerland, particularly during summer months, may contribute to the development of COCE in susceptible breeds.
