TREATMENT OF DEEP CORNEAL ULCERS IN DOGS WITH PORCINE SMALL INTESTINAL
SUBMUSOSA USING A MODIFIED SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
Abstract
Deep corneal ulcers of four brachycephalic dogs were treated by a
modified surgical technique using small intestinal submucosa (SIS). SIS
was cut to exact size of the defect but not sutured. Afterwards a
temporary nictitating membrane flap was placed. The outcome was very
good in all cases.
