  1. The third eyelid
  2. The limbus (junction of the cornea and the sclera)
  3. The lower lid
38
Q

What is the most common third eyelid issue?

A
  • Squamous cell carcinoma
39
Q

Squamous cell carcinoma other information

A
  • Malignant
  • Can be described in early stages as aggressively local with very indistinct margins
  • Later on can be metastatic (reason for carcass condemnation)
40
Q

Third eyelid excision anesthesia

A
  • Palpebral nerve
  • Topical (lidocaine or proparacaine in the eye)
  • Can infuse anesthetic (lidocaine) deep to the base of the third eyelid
41
Q

Third eyelid excision technique

A
  • palpebral nerve block and topical anesthetic
  • Try to avoid cutting cartilage
  • Crush with a carmalt or hemostat just below lesion and remove it
  • No sutures
  • If extensive, you remove the entire third eyelid including cartilage, lymphoid tissue, and gland of Harder
  • Blunt pair of scissors are used to cut around the edge and entire 3rd eyelid removed
42
Q

Dermoid cyst

A
  • Hairy cyst in the eye

- Congenital growth containing hair, teeth, fluid, glands, etc.

43
Q

What type of margins with SCCa?

A
  • VERY WIDE margins
44
Q

Corneal neoplasia location

A
  • Pre-cancerous or cancerous lesions most commonly occur at the sclero-corneal junction (limbus)
45
Q

Superficial neoplastic lesion blood supply

A
  • Derive blood supply from the bulbar conjunctiva
46
Q

Invasive neoplastic lesion blood supply

A
  • Deep structures

- Worse prognosis

47
Q

What to do for a corneal neoplastic lesion?

A
  • Cryosurgery
48
Q

Goal of cryosurgery

A
  • Irreversible damage to treated tissue by intracellular ice formation
49
Q

What determines the degree of damage with cryosurgery?

A
  • Rate of cooling and minimum temperature achieved

- Inflammation 24 hours post treatment contributes to lesion destruction via immune mediated mechanisms

50
Q

What type of freeze and thaw do you want to use for a corneal lesion

A
  • FAST freeze and SLOW thaw to damage and kill tissues
51
Q

How many cycles of fast freeze/slow thaw?

A
  • Three cycles
52
Q

Technique for cryosurgery on corneal lesion

A
  1. ) Palpebral nerve block
  2. ) topical anesthetic to eye
  3. ) Proptose eye or fix in position
  4. ) Tumor debulking as necessary
  5. ) Irradiation historical but rarely used now
  6. ) Hyfrecator (thermocautery)
  7. ) Cryosurgery
  8. ) trying to destroy the blood supply
53
Q

Invasive corneal lesion treatment

A
  • Eye ablation

- Radiation

54
Q

Why are squamous cell carcinomas often on the bottom lid?

A
  • More exposed to UV light
55
Q

Eyelid neoplasia goals

A
  • Evaluate extent of lesion
  • Anesthesia
  • Cryosurgery and lesion excision with or without primary closure
  • Ocular ablation
56
Q

Closing eyelid repair

A
  • If you had a tumor and chopped it out, you can sew the edges together OR slide it up
  • Take out some wedges and move it up
  • You can also do an H plasty
57
Q

Techniques for cryosurgery

A
  • Probes, swabs, evaporative
58
Q

Eye ablation

A
  • Taking out the orbit and the adnexa (surrounding tissue)
59
Q

What are reasons for eye ablation?

A
  • Severe ocular damage due to injury, infection, or neoplasia
  • Salvage vs surgery
  • SCC metastasize late to regional LN
60
Q

Slaughter regulations for Squamous cell carcinomas

A
  • If the tumor has spread to the extent that it has destroyed the eye, the animal is condemned on ante-mortem inspection
  • If it is small, it is tagged suspect and slaughtered. Public Health veterinarian will look at it post-mortem
  • If significant spread around the eye (visible after removal of skin), or if there has been metastasis to LN of the head, the entire animal is condemned - head, carcass, viscera
  • If the tumor is localized, the head is condemned and the carcass and viscera passed, assuming no other condemnable diseases or conditions are found
61
Q

Eye ablation

A
  • Thorough examination to determine type and extent of lesion
  • Restraint
  • Prepare surgical field
  • Anesthesia (palpebral nerve, topical, lid infusion, + RETROBULBAR infusion with a Three or four point or Peterson block)
62
Q

Peterson block

A
  • He doesn’t do this
  • Trying to hit the foramen orbitorotundum
  • If you sneak the bevel of the needle underneath the dura you can kill the animal immediately
63
Q

His blocks for eye ablation

A
  • Auriculopalpebral and ring block around the eye
64
Q

Common reasons for eye ablation

A
  • Extensive squamous cell carcinoma
  • Panophthalmitis
  • Irreparable ocular damage or trauma
  • Ocular lymphosarcoma
65
Q

Technique of total ocular ablation

A
  1. Close eyelids with towel clamps
  2. Elliptical incision around orbital fissure, encompassing the skin tumor if present
  3. Sharp dissection toward the orbital rim staying retroconjunctival
  4. Free the periorbita from the orbital rim (strongest attachment at commisurae)
  5. Now using scissors - serrated edge scissors, dissect free
  6. Can ligate or emasculate ocular pedicle with angiotribe
  7. Remove all suspect tumorous tissue
  8. Tension relieving pattern (horizontal mattress; simple interrupted, etc.; simple continuous oversew)
66
Q

Entropion definition

  • Eyelid rolls in and rubs the cornea traumatically
67
Q

How does entropion occur?

A
  • Genetic condition of sheep or eyelid injury
68
Q

Surgical techniques for entropion

A
  • Local lid infusion with air or penicillin
  • Local crush technique
  • Surgical resection of excessive tissue (May take a lot of time)
69
Q

  • Larynx (necrotic laryngitis, common)
  • Nasal cavity
  • Tracheal collapse (uncommon)
  • Surgery in area
70
Q

A
  • Incomplete
71
Q

Rules for tracheotomy tube

A
  • First rule to stay on midline and cut down to trachea
  • Retractors are good if you have time
  • He will cut across the tracheal rings
  • Junction of upper and middle third of trachea
  • Select proper tracheotomy tube (can use endotracheal tube in a pinch)
  • Surgical prep if possible
  • Local or general anesthesia
  • Incise between two rings
72
Q

Post op care for tracheotomy tubes

A
  • Daily maintenance of tube

- Stall and environment (make sure you are not in shavings)

73
Q

What to do when you’re ready to take the tube out?

A
  • Take it out and let it heal by second intention

- Keep them in a clean area

74

A
  • Tracheal collapse
  • Tracheal obstruction
