ABSTRACT
A 1.5-year-old spayed female English setter dog was presented because of mucopurulent discharge emanating from the left medial canthal region of 8-months duration despite medical management and repeated nasolacrimal flushing. Dacryocystorhinography demonstrated obstruction at the level of the lacrimal sac. Three-dimensional (3-D) modelling software was used to print a 3-D construct of the facial bones and a drill guide over the region of obstruction. The 3-D prints were sterilized and utilized during surgery to facilitate access to the lacrimal sac. The left lacrimal sac was identified, explored, and flushed. Patency was re-established, and the dog was asymptomatic 7 months after surgery.
Utilisation d'une imprimante 3-dimensions dans l'exploration chirurgicale d'une obstruction du canal naso-lacrymal chez un chien. Une chienne stérilisée de race Setter anglais âgée de 1,5 ans fut présentée à cause d'un écoulement muco-purulent provenant de la région du canthus médial gauche qui dure depuis 8 mois malgré une gestion médicale et des drainages naso-lacrymaux répétés. Une dacryocystorhinographie a démontré l'obstruction au niveau du sac lacrymal. Un logiciel de modélisation en trois dimensions (3-D) fut utilisé pour imprimer un construit en 3-D des os faciaux et un guide-mèche de la région au-dessus de l'obstruction. Les impressions 3-D furent stérilisées et utilisées durant la chirurgie afin de faciliter l'accès au sac lacrymal. Le sac lacrymal gauche fut identifié, exploré et drainé. La perméabilité fut ré-établie, et le chien était asymptomatique 7 mois après la chirurgie.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).
