Abstract CASE DESCRIPTION A 12-year-old 32-kg neutered female crossbreed dog was treated for a large lumbosacral skin defect. CLINICAL FINDINGS The dog had sustained multiple, penetrating dog bite wounds to the lumbosacral and gluteal regions 5 days earlier. The referring veterinarian had initiated treatment with amoxicillin–clavulanic acid, which was continued at a dosage of 8.75 mg/kg, SC, every 24 hours at the referral hospital. Examination of the skin defect revealed a large subcutaneous abscess in the dorsal lumbosacral region with draining perimeter tracts at the wound margin. The partial-thickness wound measured 24 × 35 cm and had multifocal regions of necrosis extending caudally from the dorsal aspect of the T11 vertebra to the tail base. The skin defect was bounded by discolored and necrotic skin edges. TREATMENT AND OUTCOME The dog underwent extensive soft tissue wound reconstruction. A single, large, meshed full-thickness free skin graft was harvested from the left dorsolateral aspect of the thorax and grafted to the dorsal lumbosacral region, thereby enabling successful closure of the wound defect. Primary healing of the wound eventually occurred, without postoperative complications. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Use of a large, meshed full-thickness free skin graft led to a satisfactory outcome for this dog but required challenging postoperative management. Application of single, large, meshed full-thickness free skin grafts may be an option to manage large skin deficits in the lumbosacral area in dogs.

Hand Friction

Abstract The incidence of pediatric treadmill hand friction burns has been increasing every year. The injuries are deeper than thermal hand burns, the optimal treatment remains unclear. This was a retrospective study of children who received surgery for treadmill hand friction burns from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019, in a single burn center. A total of 22 children were surveyed. The patients were naturally divided into two groups: the wound repair group (13 patients), which was admitted early to the hospital after injury and received debridement and vacuum sealing drainage initially, and a full-thickness skin graft later; and the scar repair group (9 patients), in which a scar contracture developed as a result of wound healing and received scar release and skin grafting later. The Modified Michigan Hand Questionnaire score in the wound repair group was 116.31 ± 10.55, and the corresponding score in the scar repair group was 117.56 ± 8.85 (P>0.05), no statistically significant difference. The Vancouver Scar Scale score in the wound repair group was 4.15 ± 1.21, and the corresponding score in the scar repair group was 7.22 ± 1.09 (P<0.05). Parents were satisfied with the postoperative appearance and function of the hand. None in the two groups required secondary surgery. If the burns are deep second degree, third degree, or infected, early debridement, vacuum sealing drainage initially, and a full-thickness skin graft can obviously relieve pediatric pain, shorten the course of the disease, and restore the function of the hand as soon as possible.

The Authors report their experience in the new urethroplasty technique by Barbagli for penile and bulbar urethral strictures. This procedure involves a free skin graft sutured to the corpora cavernosa. With this dorsal approach mechanical weakening is virtually impossible, so pseudo-diverticulum or urethrocele cannot develop. We adopted this technique in 5 patients during the last 12 months. The strictures of the urethra were 2.5 to 8 cm long. The follow-up, even thought short, show that this technique is safe and quite simple.

SummaryObjective: To compare the hydro-surgical technique to traditional techniques for removal of subcutaneous tissue in the preparation of full-thickness skin grafts.Study design: Ex vivo experimental study and a single clinical case report.Sample population: Four canine cadavers and a single clinical case.Methods: Four sections of skin were harvested from the lateral flank of recently euthanatized dogs. Traditional preparation methods used included both a blade or scissors technique, each of which were compared to the hydro-surgical technique individually. Preparation methods were compared based on length of time for removal of the subcutaneous tissue from the graft, histologic grading, and measurable thickness as compared to an untreated sample.Results: The hydro-surgical technique had the shortest skin graft preparation time as compared to traditional techniques (p = 0.002). There was no significant difference in the histological grading or measurable subcutaneous thickness between skin specimens.Clinical significance: The hydro-surgical technique provides a rapid, effective debridement of subcutaneous tissue in the preparation of full-thickness skin grafts. There were not any significant changes in histological grade and subcutaneous tissue remaining among all treatment types. Additionally the hydro-surgical technique was successfully used to prepare a full-thickness meshed free skin graft in the reconstruction of a traumatic medial tarsal wound in a dog.Presented at the ACVS symposium during the resident seminar, Seattle, Washington,USA on October 22, 2010.
