{"doi":"10.1111/vop.13245","title":"Abstracts: Annual Meeting of the European College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists, Rhodes, Greece, May 18‐21, 2023","abstract":"Purpose: Heavy brows in Chow Chow and Shar-Pei dogs can be associated with pseudoptosis and trichiasisentropion of the upper eyelids, causing vision impairment and ocular discomfort.This study describes the outcomes of brow removal Stades-like procedure to address these anatomical abnormalities.Methods: Retrospective review of medical records (2019)(2020)(2021)(2022).Results: Twenty-seven dogs (n = 15 Chow Chow, n = 12 Shar-Pei) were included, aged 1.9 1.5 years (0.5-6.5 years).Presenting complaints included recurrent episodes of ocular inflammation (n = 13, 48.1%), blepharospasm (n = 10, 37.0%), corneal ulcers (n = 8, 29.6%), entropion (n = 6, 22.2%), and impaired vision (n = 4, 14.8%).Brow skin was removed as follows: (i) first incision parallel and 15-mm dorsal to upper lid, slightly extending beyond medial/lateral canthi; (ii) second incision forming an arc with its apex 20-25 mm dorsal to the first incision; and (iii) standard two-layer closure.In 22/27 dogs, a Stades-like procedure was performed over the entire upper eyelid length, with the apex of the curved incision being 2-4 mm dorsal to the first incision.At last recheck (follow-up 267 185 days), the anatomy of the upper eyelids was considered appropriate in 21/27 dogs (77.8%)-despite 4/21 cases considered overcorrected at first recheck-and undercorrected in 6/27 dogs (22.2%), despite 2/6 cases considered appropriate at first recheck.Most owners (85.2%) were satisfied with the surgical results.Conclusion: Brow removal Stades-like procedure provide good cosmetic and clinical outcomes in Chow Chow and Shar-Pei dogs, although under correction may occur in severely affected patients and with advancing time.Conflict of Interest: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.","journal":"Veterinary Ophthalmology","year":2024,"id":488631,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":2,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.593,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1333597,"name":"causing vision impairment and ocular discomfort.
