This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Eye Removal, Pre-Op involves Record of drugs used, Care Anti-inflammatory/Analgesic Therapy The disease process and degree of invasiveness will determine the degree of anti-inflammatory therapy required. Flunixin meglumine (1 mg/kg IV) immediately before surgical excision usually is adequate for enucleation procedures, however further anti-inflammatory management may be warranted depending on the disease process and extent of excision., Complications can include 1. Simple incisional infection 2. Orital infections 3. Dehiscense of the suture 4. Significant infections of the periorital tissue 5. Progression of the neoplasia into one or regional lymph nodes 6. Systemic signs of infection, Enucleation entails Intra-op, Presurgical Prep & Local nerve blocks Local blocks Peterson nerve Block, Enucleation Definition entails Considerations, Eye removal surgery consists of Enucleation, Evisceration entails Indications, Enucleation entails Considerations, Pre-Op involves Restraint, procedure which involves 2.A circumferential skin incision is made approximately 1 cm from the edges of the eyelids, Indications Why done? Granuloma, Indications Why done? Infection with pus, Evisceration entails Intra Operative, Enucleation entails Post-op care, Client Education directions from the Vet The animal should be kept in a confined area for several days after surgery to allow for appropriate hemostasis to occur. Daily observation of the surgical site and assessment of general well being is recommended until suture removal. Sutures should be removed in 14 to 21 days to allow for complete healing of the skin. If purulent drainage is noted during the course of healing in an enucleation procedure, the medial interrupted suture may be removed and the cavity flushed with a dilute disinfectant solution daily until resolution of the orbital infection., Intra-op 2 surgical methods Transpalpebral approach, Pre-Op involves Catheter placement, Exteneration Entails Post Operative, Closure technique involves 2 layers Skin
