Equine limb wounds often heal slowly by epithelialization, and large scars are a frequent end result. In some ways, they resemble the wound associated with human tibial injuries. The literature indicates that previous investigators have failed to transfer free skin flaps successfully in the horse. I

β¦ Synopsis
Various reconstructive techniques have been applied to the management of difficult wounds in the dog. Wounds in the distal extremities and on the face are hard to manage by conventional methods. A free cutaneous flap, based on the superficial cervical vessels, was developed and used in a series of experimental and clinical cases. Six of eight experimental orthotopic transfers survived. The two failures were thought to be related to technical error. The seven flaps, used in clinical cases, all survived and successfully resolved the dogs' clinical problems.

Clinical esophageal reconstruction in dogs is generally limited to the repair of small segments of cervical and terminal thoracic esophagus. The attempt was made to develop a procedure for the replacement of the entire thoracic esophagus. Three groups of dogs were used for microvascular colon transf
