Otitis externa and media are frequently diagnosed disorders in rabbits and are particularly common in lop-eared breeds because of the specific anatomy of the ear canal. Medical management for otitis externa and media often provides only a temporary improvement in clinical signs. Surgery by means of partial or total ear canal ablation (PECA or TECA) combined with lateral bulla osteotomy (LBO) represents a feasible approach that is well tolerated and provides a good clinical outcome. Short-term complications associated with PECA/TECA-LBO include facial nerve paralysis and vestibular disease.
外耳道炎和中耳炎是家兔常见的诊断疾病,由于耳道的特殊解剖结构,在垂耳品种中尤为常见。外耳道炎和中耳炎的药物治疗通常只能暂时改善临床症状。通过部分或全耳道切除术(PECA或TECA)联合外侧鼓泡切开术(LBO)进行手术是一种可行的方法,耐受性良好,临床效果也较好。与PECA/TECA-LBO相关的短期并发症包括面神经麻痹和前庭疾病。
