Abstract

Laceration of upper eyelid is a common affection of the eye of cattle and buffaloes. An eight-year-old graded buffalo was presented with a history of severe laceration of upper eyelid. The laceration led to extravasation of orbicularis oculi muscle with edema and swelling. The upper eyelid was repaired by three-layer repair under nerve blocks and local analgesia with 2% lignocaine HCl. The extravasated orbicularis oculi muscle was reconnected with the remanent using polyglactin No. 3-0. This was followed by repair of the intermediate subcutaneous layer and finally the superficial skin sutures were placed using nylon. The post-operative care included a course with antibiotics, analgesics, and local antibiotics to contain infection. The animal recovered without any complication ten days post-operative.
