This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Third eyelid procedure, Step 2 followed by Step 3, Step 4 followed by Step 5, Step 2 involves The third eyelid is grasped, exteriorized and isolated., Step 3 involves After extension dorsolaterally across the globe, two curved Mosquito forceps are used to delineate the most ventromedial margins of the nictating membrane. Hemostatic tissue forceps are placed across the base of the third eyelid, proximally to the T-shaped piece of cartilage. The hemostatic forceps serve as surgical excision boundaries and also serve to crush conjunctiva to decrease hemorrhage from the surgical site., Step 4 involves Subsequently, a scapel blade or scissors (preferably curved Mayo scissors) are used to excise along the dorsal border of each hemostatic forceps., Step 3 followed by Step 4, The animal is restrained and surgically prepped. Premedication are administered and local blocks are performed on the animal (Refer to pre-operative procedures for more information) uses - Auriculopalpebral Nerve Block - Infratrochlear Nerve Block -Peterson Nerve Block Also Topical anaesthesia is applied to base of the third eyelid and the corneal surface, Third Eyelid Procedure Starts with Step 1, Step 5 involves After the two sides have been excised, another hemostat is placed across the remainding base of the third eyelid and excision is repeated, removing the entire third eyelid. The hemostats are left in place for at least 10 minutes to allow hemostasis. The cut edges are left to heal by secondary intention., Step 1 involves The animal is restrained and surgically prepped. Premedication are administered and local blocks are performed on the animal (Refer to pre-operative procedures for more information), Step 1 followed by Step 2
