A 7\u2010year\u2010old castrated male Chihuahua (3.2\u00a0kg) presented with a recurrent iridociliary tumour following initial biopsy. Vision\u2010preserving surgery was performed using an innovative combined contralateral and postero\u2010anterior approach with bipolar cautery for haemostasis. The technique involved initial precise excision of tumour\u2010bearing iris tissue through corneal paracentesis positioned opposite to the tumour location using miotic agents for accurate tumour margin assessment, followed by en\u2010bloc excision of the tumour with adjacent scleral tissue via a stepped scleral flap approach. En\u2010bloc tumour excision with intended 2\u20133\u00a0mm margins, including adjacent scleral tissue, was performed, though histopathology revealed incomplete excision at some borders. The tumour was confirmed as a highly pigmented iridociliary epithelial tumour with minimal scleral invasion. Postoperative complications included transient anterior uveitis and mild hyphema, both resolving within 4 weeks. At 3\u2010month follow\u2010up, the patient maintained functional vision despite developing incipient cataract and suspected partial retinal detachment. This novel combined contralateral approach with en\u2010bloc scleral resection represents the first successful vision\u2010sparing procedure specifically designed and reported in a small\u2010breed dog, offering a promising alternative to conventional approaches and addressing the surgical space limitations encountered in small\u2010breed patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/vms3.70849","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,10]],"date-time":"2026-02-10T10:07:57Z","timestamp":1770718077000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Novel Combined Approach for Vision\u2010Preserving Iridociliary Tumour Excision in a Small\u2010Breed Dog: Contralateral Iris Excision With En\u2010Bloc Scleral Resection"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7165-6731","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jae\u2010Ik","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Ulsan S Animal Medical Center  Ulsan Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Laboratory of Veterinary Ophthalmology College of Veterinary Medicine Chungbuk National University  Cheongju Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeong\u2010Eun","family":"Yeom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Ulsan S Animal Medical Center  Ulsan Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyung\u2010Mee","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Veterinary Ophthalmology College of Veterinary Medicine Chungbuk National University  Cheongju Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,10]]},"reference":[{"issue":"18","key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","first-page":"460","article-title":"Outcome of Iridociliary Epithelial Tumor Biopsies in Dogs: A Retrospective Study","volume":"175","author":"Beckwith\u2010Cohen B.","year":"2014","journal-title":"Veterinary Record"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ICU.0000000000000550"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00417-003-0624-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.85.7.848"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1463-5224.1999.00085.x"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","first-page":"755","article-title":"Surgical Excision of Iridociliary Tumors Using a Postero\u2010Anterior Cyclo\u2010Iridectomy and Thermocautery in Two Dogs","volume":"23","author":"Davis R.
