Objective To evaluate the results obtained using Morgan pocket technique and chondrectomy (MPTC) alone, or combined with a wedge conjunctivectomy (MPTC + WC) for the treatment of prolapsed gland associated with cartilage deformity of the nictitating membrane (PGCD) in dogs. Procedure Medical records of dogs diagnosed with PGCD that received a MPTC or MPTC + WC were reviewed between 1998 and 2018. Success rate was defined by lack of recurrence of the prolapsed gland with a minimum of 6 months follow‐up. Histological examination of the excised cartilage was performed in 13 eyes. Results A total of 132 dogs (181 eyes) met the inclusion criteria. Median follow‐up time was 25 months (range, 6‐166 months). MPTC was used in 131 eyes with 91.6% success rate. MPTC + WC was used in 50 eyes with 100% success rate. Postoperative complications occurred in 6.9% and 4%, respectively, for MPTC and MPTC + WC, including lacrimal cysts (8 eyes) or corneal erosion (3 eyes). Recurrence and complications rates were significantly lower using MPTC + WC compared with MPTC in the giant breed dogs (P = .019 and P = .002, respectively), but not in the overall study population (P = .328 and P = .290, respectively). Histological cartilage anomalies were noted in 2/13 specimens from chronic PGCD. Conclusions MPTC + WC offers a good therapeutic option for giant breed dogs with PGCD. The combined technique provides a good apposition and mobility of the nictitating membrane onto the ocular surface and potentially reduces the risk of recurrence in these giant canine breeds.
