Specifically, the SPL footplate was sutured to the ventral conjunctival fornix with 5\u20100 nylon and 6\u20100 vicryl while the tubing was passed through the new pathway and the distal end of the tubing trimmed and tucked into a perinasal subcutaneous pocket. Two skin sutures closed the perinasal pocket and were removed 2\u2009weeks postoperatively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No immediate postoperative complications occurred. At 6\u2009weeks and 6 months postoperatively, the distal SPL tubing was dislodged and visible out of the right nostril. This was uneventfully trimmed shorter, and no further complications occurred. The SPL component was easily removed 11\u2009months postoperatively without complication. The patient's clinical signs dramatically improved; she was comfortable over 2\u2009years after surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of using an SPL as an indwelling catheter for nasolacrimal duct surgery via conjunctivorhinostomy in a cat. This technique eliminated external stent sites for the patient, which was associated with a short use of an e\u2010collar, and utilized materials readily available in a specialty hospital.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vop.13297","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,31]],"date-time":"2024-10-31T22:04:52Z","timestamp":1730412292000},"page":"879-885","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The novel use of a sub\u2010palpebral lavage line as an indwelling stent to manage unilateral nasolacrimal duct obstruction in a cat"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6226-0225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna Catherine","family":"Bowden","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine Auburn University  Auburn Alabama USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8048-7004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel A.","family":"Allbaugh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine Iowa State University  Ames Iowa USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","first-page":"1001","volume-title":"Veterinary Ophthalmology.
