dc.description.abstractThe present work involved standardization and clinical application of various types of reconstruction techniques applicable to small animals. The standardization phase of the study involved cadaveric studies carried out in 10 canine cadavers to standardize a total of 16 different reconstruction techniques coming under 3 different categories. The tension lines on the skin at various anatomical locations and their effect on the effective closure of cutaneous defects with the best clinical, functional and cosmetic outcomes were studied. In the clinical application phase of the study, 31 canine patients were surgically treated with the standardized techniques and the wound healing parameters were evaluated to find the technique and combination of surgical parameters required to obtain the best possible outcome out of cutaneous reconstruction. The linear reconstruction technique was found to be an easy and good technique for small defects and when wounds can be closed without the formation of dog ears. The fusiform technique of reconstruction was found to be best suited for the closure of circular defects with an adequate amount of free skin and with minimum dog-ear formation. The Combined V technique resulted in the least healthy skin loss and should preferably be applied when skin edge apposition causes dog ear formation and when there is little skin available for restoration around the defect. The transposition flap gave better clinical outcomes and faster healing on extremities compared to the bipedicle flap. The delay in wound healing and occurrence of profuse swelling was found to be more related to the tension at the time of closure than other parameters and was mainly observed when tension was severe. Reduction of pain in all 3 techniques (CST, Electrosurgery & Laser surgery) was good with no significant difference between each. The degree of swelling on 3rd day following surgery, degree of exudation and oedema on the 3rd day, and completeness of healing on the 14th day after surgery had only mild, non-significant differences between the three groups suggesting that all three techniques for the creation of skin incision are good alternatives of each otheren_US
