Call for Collaboration: Multicenter Study on Medial Canthoplasty in Feline Patients

 

Subject: Call for Collaboration: Multicenter Study on Medial Canthoplasty in Feline Patients

Dear colleagues,

I hope this email/message finds you well. My name is Neus Franch Riera, and I am currently conducting a multicenter retrospective study on medial canthoplasty in feline patients under supervision of Dr. Renata Stavinohova. The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the outcomes of medial canthoplasty performed to address brachycephalic ocular syndrome in cats, with a focus on assessing its outcome. We have already presented our preliminary result during BrAVO conference. The study received ethical approval CVS-2025-00.

To ensure a robust and meaningful results/analysis, I am reaching out to fellow veterinary ophthalmologists to invite contributions of relevant case data. If you have performed medial canthoplasty on feline patients and would like to collaborate, your input would be invaluable to this project.

To contribute, we kindly ask for the following:

  • Full clinical history of the patient including surgical report
  • A questionnaire to be completed by the owner (which we will provide)
  • Pre- and post-operative photographs, if available

Your contributions will be fully acknowledged in any resulting publications, and this study presents an excellent opportunity to advance our collective understanding of the outcomes of this surgical intervention.

If you are interested in contributing or have any questions about the information above, please email neusfranch@gmail.com and copy renatastavinohova@gmail.com and Javier.real@cvsvets.com.

Thank you for considering this collaboration.

Warm regards,
Neus Franch Riera and Renata Stavinohova

ANAESTHESIA SURVEY – Local anaesthesia for ocular surgery

ANAESTHESIA SURVEY

To UK veterinarians involved in ocular surgery/anaesthesia in dogs, we would be grateful if you could spend a few minutes on this survey.
There are many described techniques to provide local or regional anaesthesia to the eye for ocular surgery, however there is a lack of clinical studies to guide vets in choosing one technique over another. This study’s objectives are to investigate which local anaesthetic techniques vets are using in practice for ocular surgery in dogs, why they choose their preferred technique, and what adverse events they have seen. This study has been approved by the RCVS Ethics Review Panel in accordance with the RCVS Code of Professional Conduct. No personal data will be collected.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
