Resumo

Third eyelid gland prolapse is frequent in brachyocephalic dogs; although, some meso or dolichocephalic breeds such as Cocker Spaniel and Beagle, amongst others, may suffer from this condition. A new and easy surgical technique for repositioning prolapsed third eyelid gland by creating a subconjunctival sac, accompanied with partial resection of the conjunctival tissue that covers the prolapsed gland is described in this paper. The advantage of this surgical procedure is that the anatomical and physiological components are widely conserved.
