Study Notes

Modified Lateral Enucleation Technique

  • This study describes a modified lateral enucleation technique in animals, omitting optic nerve ligation/clamping.
  • The purpose is to evaluate complication rates, intraoperative blood loss, and potential risk factors.

Methods

  • Retrospective review of medical records (2000-2022) for 1296 enucleations, focusing on complications.
  • A subset of 446 procedures (2019-2022) examined potential risk factors (species, sex, age, surgeon, ocular infection, etc.).
  • A prospective study estimated intraoperative blood loss using gravimetric analysis for a subset of animals.

Results

  • Overall complication rate was 2.31%.
  • Surgical site infection rate was 2.08%.
  • Only Pseudomonas spp. bacterial culture was associated with complication development.
  • Estimated intraoperative blood loss: 2.2% in dogs and 4.1% in cats.

Conclusions

  • The modified technique is safe, fast, and has minimal postoperative complications in dogs, cats, and rabbits.
  • Optic nerve and surrounding tissue ligation/clamping is contraindicated based on orbital vasculature anatomy.
