To evaluate owner perceptions of the quality of life of their dogs before and after bilateral enucleation and to assess owner satisfaction with the procedure.
Medical records of 72 dogs from the Willows Veterinary Centre and Referral Service (49 dogs) and the Royal Veterinary College (RVC, 23 dogs) that had undergone bilateral enucleation, either in one procedure or at different times, between April 2008 (Willows) or 2012 (RVC) and April 2017, were reviewed. Owners were initially telephoned to determine owner satisfaction, followed by a postal visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaire evaluating perceptions of their dog's quality of life before and after the bilateral enucleation. Statistical evaluation included Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and Chi-squared analysis.
Of the 72 cases identified, 63 owners (88%) were contacted by telephone and 60 owners (83%) also completed the VAS questionnaire. The mean age at the time of the second or bilateral enucleation was 8.47 years (range 7.1 months-14.5 years). Cross-breeds (n = 12, 17%) and Jack Russell Terriers (n = 7, 10%) were the two most represented breeds. Glaucoma was the most common reason for enucleation (139/144 eyes, 97%). Most owners (57/63, 90%) were satisfied with the surgery and would consent to the procedure again. Statistically significant improvements in owner perceptions of their dog's pain level, reaction to facial/ocular palpation, activity levels, and quality of life were identified post-enucleation.
Following bilateral enucleation, owners were satisfied with the procedure and perceived their dogs to have a good quality of life.
评估犬只双侧眼球摘除术前和术后主人对其生活质量的认知，并评估主人对该手术的满意度。
回顾了2008年4月（柳树兽医中心）或2012年（皇家兽医学院）至2017年4月期间在柳树兽医中心及转诊服务机构（49只犬）和皇家兽医学院（23只犬）接受双侧眼球摘除术的72只犬的病历，这些犬只的双侧眼球摘除术在一次手术中或不同时间进行。最初通过电话联系主人以确定主人的满意度，随后通过邮寄视觉模拟量表（VAS）问卷来评估主人对其犬只双侧眼球摘除术前和术后生活质量的认知。统计评估包括Wilcoxon符号秩检验和卡方分析。
在确定的72例病例中，63位主人（88%）通过电话联系，60位主人（83%）还完成了VAS问卷。第二次或双侧眼球摘除术时的平均年龄为8.47岁（范围7.1个月至14.5岁）。混血犬（n = 12，17%）和杰克罗素梗犬（n = 7，10%）是最具代表性的两个品种。青光眼是眼球摘除术最常见的原因（139/144只眼，97%）。大多数主人（57/63，90%）对手术满意，并会再次同意进行该手术。眼球摘除术后，主人对其犬只的疼痛程度、面部/眼部触诊反应、活动水平和生活质量的认知有统计学意义的改善。
双侧眼球摘除术后，主人对该手术满意，并认为他们的犬只生活质量良好。
