Abstract
Twelve eyelid meibomian gland adenomas in dogs were surgically ablated using the carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser. The laser site was not sutured. All procedures resulted in complete removal of the adenoma with no recurrences at 6 months. In addition, no dogs developed corneal disease secondary to the procedure, and the cosmetic appearance of the eyelid margins was good at the end of the 6-month study. Based on results of this study, CO(2) laser ablation of canine meibomian gland adenomas is an effective alternative to standard surgical removal.
