Resumo. Em um estudo realizado em doze cães, 13 olhos, com apresentação clínica de prolapso da glândula da terceira pálpebra, objetivou-se o tratamento cirúrgico do mesmo, por uma nova abordagem cirúrgica. Após exame oftalmológico completo e laboratoriais pré-cirúrgico, procedeu-se o tratamento cirúrgico do prolapso da glândula da terceira pálpebra: através de incisão com uso de laser cirúrgico na face caudal a base da terceira pálpebra promoveu-se, com auxílio de uma pinça mosquito curva, um túnel por meio da divulsão na mucosa. Por meio de duas suturas de Wolf com fio absorvível de modo que esse transpasse a terceira pálpebra e a mucosa divulsionada, de maneira que a glândula prolapsada fique sepultada pela manobra da sutura, ficando retida no interior da mucosa da face caudal da terceira pálpebra. As duas suturas demonstram-se suficientes para impedir que a glândula reprolapsa-se. Todos os pacientes foram avaliados após o procedimento sete, quatorze e vinte e um dias pós-cirurgia, nenhum destes apresentaram recidiva do prolapso nem mesmo inflamação da glândula, conjuntiva ou alteração na sua produção lacrimal.Palavras chave: cães, cirurgia, produção lacrimal, prolapso da glândula de terceira pálpebra New surgical approach for the treatment of gland prolapse of the third eyelid in dogs: A retrospective studyAbstract. At this clinical study twelve dogs, 13 eyes, presenting the prolapse of the third eyelid gland, received surgical treatment in a new technical approach. After a complete eye exam and pre-surgery laboratory exams, the surgical treatment of the prolapse of the third eyelid gland was performed through an incision, using a surgical laser on the caudal side of the base of the third eyelid; a tunnel was created by divulsion the mucosa using a Halsted-Mosquito forceps. The prolapsed gland was replaced by performing two Wolf's sutures with absorbable thread trespassing the third eyelid and its inner mucosa. This procedure was enabled to retain the prolapsed gland inside the mucosa of the caudal face of the third eyelid. The two sutures were sufficient to prevent the gland from reprofiling itself. All patients were evaluated after seven, fourteen and twenty-one days post-surgery, none of them presented recurrence of prolapse or even inflammation of the gland, conjunctiva or alteration in their lacrimal production.
