Conjunctival Pedicle Graft in Dogs and Cats: A Retrospective Study of 88 CasesSoontornvipart K., N. Tuntivanich, H. Kecová, P. Raušer: Conjunctival Pedicle Graft in Dogs and Cats: A Retrospective Study of 88 Cases. Acta Vet. Brno 2003, 72: 63-69. Seventy-eight dogs and ten cats with corneal lesions, including deep corneal stromal ulcers (n = 32), keratomalacia and recurrent erosions (n = 25), descemetoceles (n = 18), staphylomas and perforating corneal defects (n = 5) and feline corneal sequestrations (n = 8) were treated with 3 types of conjunctival pedicle grafts. Breed, age, sex of the patients, size and depth of corneal lesions, suture material used, surgical technique and postoperative application of antibiotics were evaluated to determine their influence on the success rate of conjunctival pedicle graft. The success rate of the therapy was high (93.18%) and depended chiefly on the surgical technique employed.
