Abstract
Orbital anatomy and the indications and surgical techniques for a variety of small animal orbital/globe surgical procedures are discussed. Details of the more common orbital surgical procedures, including ocular evisceration, intrascleral prosthesis implantation, enucleation, and proptosis repair, are given. Common complications and postoperative considerations for these procedures are also discussed with an emphasis on the practical aspects.
