Abstract

Objective: To report the outcome of superficial keratectomy with bandage contact lens placement for the treatment of spontaneous chronic corneal epithelial defects (SCCEDs) in dogs.

Methods: Patients that underwent a superficial keratectomy with bandage lens placement for the treatment of one or more SCCEDs were retrospectively included in the study. Signalment, eye(s) affected, prior medical therapy and any procedures performed, post-operative medical therapy, healing rate, and any post-operative complications were recorded. Superficial keratectomy was performed to approximately one-fifth of corneal depth under operating microscope guidance and a bandage lens was placed immediately post-operatively. Corneas were considered healed when the fluorescein stain was negative.

Results: One hundred and seven dogs met the inclusion criteria with 121 SCCEDs. The mean age of patients was 8.34 ± 2.89 years (1-15). Ninety-nine percent (120/121) of SCCEDS healed with no additional treatment within 21 days of surgery. One eye had a diamond burr debridement performed on Day 14 post-operatively and healed 2 weeks following the additional procedure. No post-operative complications were noted.

Conclusions: This study found superficial keratectomy with bandage lens placement to be an effective treatment for SCCEDs.

表层角膜切除术治疗犬自发性慢性角膜上皮缺损。

目的报告浅表角膜切除术与绷带接触镜植入术治疗犬自发性慢性角膜上皮缺损（SCCED）的结果：本研究回顾性地纳入了为治疗一种或多种 SCCED 而接受表层角膜切除术并配戴绷带式角膜接触镜的患者。研究记录了患者的体征、受影响的眼睛、之前接受的药物治疗和任何手术、术后药物治疗、痊愈率和任何术后并发症。在手术显微镜的引导下进行表层角膜切除术，深度约为角膜深度的五分之一，术后立即放置绷带镜片。当荧光素染色呈阴性时，角膜即被视为痊愈：符合纳入标准的狗有 107 只，其中 121 只患有 SCCED。患者的平均年龄为 8.34±2.89 岁（1-15 岁）。99%（120/121）的 SCCEDS 在手术后 21 天内痊愈，无需额外治疗。一只眼睛在术后第 14 天进行了金刚石毛刺清创术，并在附加手术后 2 周痊愈。没有发现术后并发症：本研究发现，浅表角膜切除术加绷带晶体植入术是治疗 SCCED 的有效方法。
