Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate a cryosurgery technique for treating canine distichiasis, focusing on its effectiveness and any complications.
- The technique involved a triple freeze-thaw cycle using a liquid nitrogen-cooled probe on 125 dogs, with an overall success rate of 83% in resolving symptoms like excessive tearing and eyelid irritation.
- While mild complications such as eyelid swelling and skin discoloration were observed, these were temporary, indicating the treatment is generally safe, though more research is needed on its impact on tear quality.
Purpose: To describe clinical features of non-diabetic canine cataracts with presumed pre-existing posterior capsule rupture (PLCR) and their surgical outcomes.
Methods: Clinical records of 497 non-diabetic canines that underwent elective cataract surgery were reviewed. Twelve canines met the inclusion criteria indicative of PLCR pre-dating surgery.
