Abstract

Flaps or patchwork can be used on several occasions and in different ways, one of which is the pedicled skin flap of caudal superficial epigastric artery. This technique is indicated to cover skin defects in caudal abdomen, flank, foreskin and perineum. The procedure can be used in females and males, in dogs and cats. The purpose of this study was to report the use of caudal superficial epigastric axial flap in a feline affected by extensive dermal avulsion in the right pelvic limb.
