Bu çalışma, postoperatif dönemde kedilerde yaygın olarak kullanılan Elizabeth yakalığı ile alternatif bir yara koruyucu korsenin göz içi basıncı (GİB) üzerindeki etkilerini karşılaştırmak amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırma, prospektif, randomize ve kontrollü bir klinik çalışma olarak tasarlanmış olup, orşiektomi operasyonu planlanan 20 sağlıklı kedi çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. GİB ölçümleri rebound tonometri yöntemi ile başlangıçta (T0), operasyon süresince ve postoperatif dönemde farklı zaman noktalarında (T5–T60, T24h) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular, Elizabeth yakalığı kullanılan kedilerde GİB değerlerinde zaman içerisinde daha belirgin dalgalanmalar meydana geldiğini ve bazı zaman dilimlerinde anlamlı derecede yüksek seviyeler kaydedildiğini göstermiştir. Buna karşılık, yara koruyucu korse uygulanan kedilerde GİB değerlerinin daha stabil seyrettiği gözlenmiştir. İstatistiksel değerlendirmeler sonucunda, zaman ve grup etkileşiminin anlamlı olduğu (P=0.034) belirlenmiş, ancak grup faktörünün tek başına GİB üzerine anlamlı bir etkisinin bulunmadığı (P=0.690) ortaya konmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar, postoperatif dönemde yara koruyucu korsenin göz sağlığının korunması açısından daha fizyolojik ve güvenli bir alternatif olabileceğini ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, bu çalışmadan elde edilen veriler, veteriner hekimlere klinik uygulamalarda pratik yol gösterici bilgiler sunmakta ve evcil hayvan sahiplerine de daha bilinçli tercihler yapabilme konusunda katkı sağlamaktadır. Sonuç olarak, yara koruyucu korsenin Elizabeth yakalığına kıyasla postoperatif bakımda önemli bir alternatif olarak değerlendirilebileceği düşünülmektedir.

This study aimed to compare the effects of the commonly used Elizabethan collar and an alternative protective body garment on intraocular pressure (IOP) in cats during the postoperative period. The research was designed as a prospective, randomized, and controlled clinical trial, and included 20 healthy cats scheduled for orchiectomy. IOP measurements were performed using rebound tonometry at baseline (T0), during the surgical procedure, and at various postoperative time points (T5–T60, T24h). The results demonstrated that cats fitted with an Elizabethan collar exhibited more pronounced fluctuations in IOP over time, with significantly higher values recorded at certain time points. In contrast, cats wearing the protective body garment maintained more stable IOP levels throughout the observation period. Statistical analyses revealed a significant interaction between time and group (P=0.034), whereas the group factor alone did not have a statistically significant effect on IOP (P=0.690). These findings suggest that the protective body garment may represent a more physiological, safe, and effective option for maintaining ocular health in the postoperative period. Moreover, the data obtained from this study provide valuable guidance for veterinarians in clinical practice and can assist pet owners in making more informed decisions regarding postoperative care. In conclusion, the protective body garment can be considered a promising alternative to the Elizabethan collar in feline postoperative management.
