Angularis oris axial pattern flap as a reliable and versatile option for rostral facial reconstruction in cats
VETERINARY SURGERY(2021)
摘要
Objective To evaluate outcomes associated with the use of an angularis oris axial pattern flap (AOAPF) for rostral facial reconstruction in cats. Animals Nine adult client-owned cats. Study Design Short case series. Methods Ten AOAPF were performed in nine cats after resection of a tumor. Wounds were located at the nose, infraorbital, supraorbital, frontal, eye, and ear canal region. Orbital exenteration (n = 3), pinnectomy (n = 2), nasal planum resection, total ear canal ablation (n = 2), and partial eyelid reconstruction (n = 3) were performed. Results Short-term postoperative complications included flap edema (n = 10), suture dehiscence (n = 3), and distal tip necrosis (n = 3). All wounds resulting from minor complications healed by second intention in 5-15 days. Long-term complications included epiphora (n = 2), frequent grooming around the eyes (n = 2), and enucleation due to corneal ulcer secondary to impaired postoperative eyelid function (n = 1). Tumor recurrence occurred in 3 cases. Conclusion The AOAPF was a versatile and reliable option for rostral facial reconstruction in cats with acceptable long-term outcomes.
