Wound closure and axial pattern flaps

?
How soon does catgut loose all tensile strength?
10-21 days
1 of 20
Which needle is most appropriate for closing a cystotomy?
curved taper point
2 of 20
WHat is the advantage of reverse cutting needles over conventional cutting needles?
smaller suture hole so less risk of suture pull through
3 of 20
How can the position of the deep dermal plexus be located for flap location??
insise deep to panniculus muscle where present
4 of 20
What is pretensioning?
technique to allow wound closure by first placing loose sutures to pull skin edges closer together, maximising skin elasticity for final closure
5 of 20
A flap is made bordering the wound and rotated 90 degrees into the wound bed, what type of flap is this?
transposition flap
6 of 20
Why are axial pattern flaps superior to subdermal plexus flaps
direct cutaneous artery more robust blood supply
7 of 20
how far can an axial pattern flap be rotated
180
8 of 20
why are axial pattern flaps easier in dogs than cats
higher perfusion in dogs
9 of 20
where does the caudal auricular artery orginate?
depression between base of vertical ear canal and wing of atlas
10 of 20
Where is the vessel located for an omocervicsal flap
cranial shoulder depression at point of superficial cervical lymph node
11 of 20
Where does the vessel for a thoarcodorsal flap originate?
caudal shoulder depression parralell to the point of the acromion
12 of 20
How far can the superficial brachial flap extend?
To greater tubercle of humerus
13 of 20
WHere does the cranial epigastric artery originate and how far can the flap be extended
from hypogastric region, to the 4th mammary teat

where does the deep circumflex iliac artery orginate?
cranioventral to wing of ileum
15 of 20
what is the genicular flap used for?
defects between the stifle and tarsus
16 of 20
why is the reverse saphenous conduit flap less reliable than other axial pattern flaps
relies on reverse flow from saphenous artery and perforating metatarsal artery
17 of 20
At what level is the tail amputated in a lateral caudal artery flap?
3rd-4th intervertebral space
18 of 20
what type of muscle is the latissimus dorsi?
Type V, main supply from thoracodorsal and lateral thoacic arteries, with supplementary supply from intercostal arteries
19 of 20
how is the omentum lengthened for use in a tunneling flap?
insise the dorsal leaf at attachent of the pancreas
