Hi Dr O,

Just curious on the status of the laser surgery now (2 yrs later from this last post), to remove cysts of the corpora nigra. Is the laser surgery considered experimental?

Who or what academic center (in the W/ SW USA preferably..)is doing the laser surgeries? (because I had only been told of the aspiration type surgery which had complications of blood in the anterior chamber, etc.)

Thank you!

Hello Penner,
Dr. Gilger continues to do these here in NC in the standing horse. I do not have a easy way to track down where the procedure is done in the West but if you contact a veterinary opthamlogist at a university teaching hospital you can probably get a referral.
