Técnica de suspensão de brow no tratamento de entrópio em shar pei – relato de quatro casos

Abstract

The Brow suspension technique is prefered for entropion correction in Shar Pei dogs. However, the surgical technique is scarcely Illustrated in literature and its results are rarely described, which can make its use scarce in surgical routine. The aim of this report is to describe the brow suspension technique in a well-illustrated and simple manner, associated or not to the Hotz Celsus technique, plus the post-operative findings when applied to four Shar Pei dogs. Two of the reported cases were successful; the other presented relapses. The brow suspension technique undoubtedly accentuates the characteristics of the Shar Pei breed, as desired by the owners. However, relapses may occur.
