Online published on 26 July, 2017. Abstract Eighteen (18) bullocks were presented with cancerous growth on the corneal or limbal region of eye with intact vision and were subjected to superficial keratectomy and silver nitrate application after regional anaesthesia using supraorbital, auriculopalpebral and retrobulbar or peterson nerve block. Temporary tarsorraphy was performed using interrupted Lembert sutures for protection of cornea from exposure and injury. Sixteen (16) bullocks recovered uneventfully while re-occurance was recorded in two (2) bullocks. Top Keywords Bullock, corneal, keratectomy, limbal, neoplasm. Top |
