AI Article Synopsis
- Twelve dogs with eyelid meibomian gland adenomas had the growths surgically removed using a CO(2) laser, leaving the site unsutured.
- All adenomas were completely removed without any recurrences at the 6-month follow-up, and no dogs experienced corneal issues as a result of the procedure.
- The cosmetic appearance of the eyelid margins remained good after the surgery, indicating that CO(2) laser ablation is an effective alternative to traditional surgical methods for this condition in dogs.
Article Abstract
Twelve eyelid meibomian gland adenomas in dogs were surgically ablated using the carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser. The laser site was not sutured. All procedures resulted in complete removal of the adenoma with no recurrences at 6 months. In addition, no dogs developed corneal disease secondary to the procedure, and the cosmetic appearance of the eyelid margins was good at the end of the 6-month study. Based on results of this study, CO(2) laser ablation of canine meibomian gland adenomas is an effective alternative to standard surgical removal.
