Study Notes
Modified Lateral Enucleation Technique
- This study describes a modified lateral enucleation technique for animals, omitting optic nerve ligation/clamping.
- The aim was to assess complication rates, intraoperative blood loss, and potential risk factors.
Purpose
- To modify lateral enucleation by avoiding optic nerve ligation.
- To document complication rates.
- To estimate intraoperative blood loss.
- To identify potential risk factors for complications.
Methods
- Retrospective review of medical records (2000-2022) for dogs, cats, and rabbits undergoing lateral enucleation.
- Subset of patients (2019-2022) evaluated for risk factors (species, sex, age, surgeon, presumed ocular surface infection, culture results, follow-up, antibiotics, NSAIDs, complications, diabetes).
- Prospective study estimated intraoperative blood loss by gravimetric analysis.
Results
- 1296 enucleations reviewed retrospectively.
- Potential risk factor evaluation in 446 cases.
- Overall complication rate: 2.31%.
- Surgical site infection rate: 2.08%.
- Only Pseudomonas spp. bacterial culture associated with complications.
- Estimated intraoperative blood loss: 2.2% (dogs) and 4.1% (cats).
Conclusions
- The modified technique is safe and fast in dogs, cats, and rabbits.
- Optic nerve/tissue ligation/clamping is contraindicated based on orbital vasculature anatomy.
