Risk factors for corneal conjunctival grafting failure in dogs at four referral centers in the southern United States (203 patients): 2015-2021.

Corneal perforations, surgery on the opposite eye relative to surgeon handedness, suture size and pattern, and brachycephalic conformation were significantly associated with an increased risk of graft failure in this study. These characteristics can be considered when determining prognosis for ulcerative keratitis requiring surgical intervention.
