- Title
Repairing nictitans gland prolapse in dogs.
- Authors
Rodriguez Gómez, José B.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the techniques for repairing the prolapse of the nictitans gland in dogs, which is the most common primary disorder of the third eyelid. It says the results of fixing the gland to the sclera or to the inferior oblique extraocular muscle are good if it is carried out using a microsurgical method. It adds that the technique described by C. E. Plummer and colleagues has positioned the prolapsed nictitans glands to the cartilage of the nictitans using a 4-0 nylon suture.
