Abstract

The term reconstructive surgery refers to the use of different tissue reconstruction techniques, such as sutures, incisions, flaps and grafts, in the correction of traumatic skin defects, when primary closure is not possible due to an excess of tension in the fabric. The face, when surgically intervened, is often the site of plastic reconstruction, since primary closure of the surgical wound becomes impossible without the appearance of excessive tension lines that compromise both healing and the functionality of structures adjacent to the defect, such as for example, the eyelids or the mouth. This study aimed to describe the case of a female canine with ulcerated nodule in the upper lip region.
