A 9-year-old Thoroughbred broodmare presented with a mass rostral to the medial canthus of the left eye. The mass was removed under general anaesthesia and the wound bed infiltrated with carboplatin emulsion before partially closing using a Z-plasty. The mass recurred and subsequently was resected twice. It has not recurred 68 weeks post-treatment. The second case describes removal of a granulomatous mass from the metatarsus of a yearling Thoroughbred colt. Skin expanders and a rotational flap were used to allow tension-free closure. This required two separate surgeries to firstly insert the skin expanders and secondly to remove the mass, the expanders and to close the defect. The wound healed with good cosmesis. There have been few reports on the use of skin flaps in equine reconstructive surgery in the last 30 years. This report details two cases of wound closure where skin flaps were used to achieve primary intention wound healing.

使用随机图案皮瓣闭合两匹马的伤口

一只 9 岁的纯种雏马在左眼内眦处出现了一个肿块。在全身麻醉下取出肿块，并用卡铂乳剂浸润伤口床，然后使用 Z 成形术部分闭合。肿块复发，随后被切除两次。治疗后 68 周未复发。第二个案例描述了从一岁纯种马驹的跖骨去除肉芽肿块。皮肤扩张器和旋转皮瓣用于实现无张力闭合。这需要两次单独的手术，首先插入皮肤扩张器，其次去除肿块、扩张器并闭合缺损。伤口愈合良好，美容效果很好。在过去的 30 年中，很少有关于在马重建手术中使用皮瓣的报道。
