Enucleation of Chronic, Painful, and Irreparable Traumatic Injured Eyeball in a Local‐Breed Ox and Its Outcome

Key Points

To evaluate the surgical technique and outcomes of enucleation in an ox with a severe eye injury.
Aseptic preparation of the eye site prior to surgery
Application of a Peterson nerve block with 2% lidocaine
Postoperative management including analgesics and wound care
Uncomplicated recovery observed post-surgery
Sutures removed without complications on Day 14
Effective pain management with meloxicam and continued care led to successful healing

Abstract

ABSTRACT An 8‐year‐old local‐breed ox presented with a severe, purulent, and malodorous injury to the right eye. The ox was restrained in a standing position, and then the site was prepared aseptically. A Peterson nerve block was applied using 2% lidocaine. The surgical technique involved a transpalpebral elliptical incision, removal of the globe, orbital packing with gauze, and skin closure using an interlocking silk suture pattern. Postoperative care included a 3‐day course of meloxicam and oxytetracycline, regular wound care, and orbital packing changes. Sutures were removed on Day 14, leading to an uncomplicated recovery.
