Objectives To report the clinical outcomes of different surgical treatments used to manage feline corneal sequestra in a large number cases. Materials and Methods Medical records 172 cats affected by surgically managed techniques were retrospectively evaluated. Signalment, technique, visual outcomes, postoperative clarity recurrence Results One hundred seventy-two (175 eyes) breeds, ages sex included retrospective case series. The Persian was most represented breed (123/172; 71.5%), followed Exotic Shorthair (21/172; 12.2%), Domestic shorthair 12.2%) smaller group other breeds (7/172).
