“…Furthermore the possibility of seeding of tumour to the donor site must be considered. Microvascular free tissue transfer may have been an option, but its application is often limited by the need of specialized instrumentation and expertise in microvascular techniques (3,7,9,26).…”

A six-year-old Labrador Retriever was presented for management of a 2 x 2 cm cutaneous mass over the dorsal aspect of the carpus. A fine needle aspirate performed by the referring veterinarian was consistent with a mast cell tumour. The ipsilateral prescapular lymph node was enlarged. Preoperative staging did not reveal any evidence of metastasis. Wide excision of the mass and prescapular lymphadenectomy were performed. The large carpal wound was reconstructed using a combination of Z-plasty and phalangeal fillet using the first digit (dewclaw); about 20% of the original defect was allowed to heal by second intention. Histopathology was consistent with a grade II mast cell tumour with metastatic spread to the lymph node. Vinblastine and prednisolone adjuvant chemotherapy was instituted. Functional and cosmetic outcome were good; only a small 1cm area of alopecia persisted. The dog was disease-free 53 months after surgery. A combination of Z-plasty and a phalangeal fillet using the first digit was a successful treatment to reconstruct a large wound over the dorsal aspect of the carpus in this case.

“…However, there are few reports in the veterinary literature of the use of the caudal superficial epigastric angiosome as a microvascular flap. The brachial artery and vein have been identified as potential recipient vessels for microvascular grafting, (Degner and others 2005) but there are no reports in the literature of the outcome of transection of these major vessels and microvascular anastomosis. This report describes the use of a microvascular caudal superficial epigastric skin flap, anastomosed end‐to‐end to the brachial artery and vein and, following a delay, meshed, to repair an extensive skin deficit of a canine forelimb.…”

Extensive skin loss from the forelimb of a Border collie was repaired by a microvascular caudal superficial epigastric flap, with secondary meshing of the flap to increase coverage. The caudal superficial epigastric artery and vein were anastomosed to the brachial artery and vein. End-to-end anastomosis to the brachial artery and vein did not compromise peripheral blood flow, and no flap necrosis was observed after subsequent limited meshing of the flap.

Surgical Approaches to Recipient Vessels of the Fore‐ and HindLimbs for Microvascular Free Tissue Transfer in Dogs

Abstract: For reconstruction of complex wounds of the extremities of dogs, surgeons should consider use of readily accessible recipient vessels that would allow for free tissue transfer to the fore- and hindlimbs.
