Técnica de reconstrução tecidual na correção de defeito cutâneo após remoção de neoplasia em membro pélvico em cão: relato de caso

Abstract

Tissue reconstruction techniques are routinely used in veterinary medicine, both in situations of trauma and in the removal of large tumor masses. The present report aimed to report the use of two reconstruction techniques in the correction of defects generated by the removal of a mast cell tumor in the right pelvic limb of an elderly female dog. There was a post-surgical follow-up in which, after 4 months, the animal returned for reassessment, presenting itself clinically and with a good aesthetic appearance, which leads to the conclusion that the technique used was the ideal option in this case, making it possible to correct the defect in skin, caused by the surgical removal of the tumor, with a quick recovery of the patient and with an excellent aesthetic appearance, thus avoiding amputation.
