To report the use of an axial pattern flap based on the cranial cutaneous branch of the saphenous artery to close a skin defect left on the medial crus after mast cell tumour removal.
A seven-year-old, 32.41 kg, neutered male mixed-breed dog had a mast cell tumour incompletely excised from the left medial crus. The resulting 6 cm linear scar was excised with 2 cm wide margins and one fascial plane for deep margins. An axial pattern skin flap incorporating the cranial cutaneous branch of the saphenous artery was used to close the resultant skin defect.
The histopathology report documented clean margins and the flap survived completely. A seroma developed postoperatively, however it resolved without treatment.
An axial pattern skin flap based on the cranial cutaneous branch of the saphenous artery is a viable option for closing medial crus skin defects in the dog.
报告使用基于隐动脉颅侧皮支的轴型皮瓣修复肥大细胞瘤切除后小腿内侧遗留的皮肤缺损。
一只7岁、体重32.41千克的去势雄性混血犬，其左小腿内侧的肥大细胞瘤切除不完全。切除了 resulting 6厘米长的线性瘢痕，边缘宽2厘米，深边缘达一个筋膜平面。采用包含隐动脉颅侧皮支的轴型皮瓣修复由此产生的皮肤缺损。
组织病理学报告显示切缘干净，皮瓣完全存活。术后出现了血清肿，但未经治疗即自行消退。
基于隐动脉颅侧皮支的轴型皮瓣是修复犬小腿内侧皮肤缺损的可行选择。
