Summary
Small animal muscle flaps are common in research but underused clinically. This paper details their anatomy and clinical applications in veterinary surgery for better surgical outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Surgery
- Comparative Anatomy
Background:
- Muscle flaps are frequently employed in small animal experimental research.
- Their application in clinical veterinary surgery remains underexplored.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the anatomy of muscle flaps in small animals.
- To review the clinical use of muscle flaps in small animal surgery.
Main Methods:
- Anatomical descriptions of various muscle flaps.
- Review of surgical case studies involving muscle flaps in small animals.
Main Results:
- Detailed anatomical data for several muscle flaps.
- Examples of successful clinical applications in small animals.
Conclusions:
- Muscle flaps offer viable reconstructive options in small animal surgery.
- Further clinical investigation and application of muscle flaps are warranted.
