ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To verify whether pediculated diaphragmatic flaps were suitable to correct iatrogenic wounds in dog's esophagus injuries. METHODS: Seven dogs were submitted to resection of a segment of the esophagical wall, which was then corrected by suturing a pediculated diaphragm flap. Endoscopic evaluation of the esophagical wall was done forty days after the surgical procedure. RESULTS: Three animals died, one due to implant ischemia, caused by strangulation of the phrenic artery; other due to wound infection; and the last, due to mediastinitis. Scar retraction was observed, however, there was no stenosis, allowing the passage of a 9,8 mm probe with no difficulty. The limits between the implants and the native esophagus were indistinguishable, and the implant was covered by esophageal mucosa. CONCLUSION: The diaphragmatic flaps are suitable on the restoring of continuity in dog's thoracic esophagus.
RESUMO
OBJETIVO: Verificar se retalhos diafragmáticos pediculados seriam adequados para correção de defeitos iatrogênicos do esôfago do cão. MÉTODOS: Sete cães foram submetidos à ressecção de um segmento da parede esofágica, o qual foi corrigido por meio da sutura de um pedículo diafragmático pediculado. Um animal morreu devido à isquemia do implante causada pelo estrangulamento da artéria frênica, outro devido à infecção da ferida cutânea e outro devido a mediastinite. Aos 40 dias após o procedimento fez-se um exame endoscópico dos animais nos cães sobreviventes. RESULTADOS: Observou-se retração cicatricial sem repercutir em estenose, permitindo a passagem de sonda de 9,8 mm, sem dificuldade. Os limites entre os implantes e o esôfago nativo se apresentaram indistinguíveis e o implante estava recoberto por mucosa esofágica. CONCLUSÃO: Os retalhos diafragmáticos são adequados na restauração da continuidade do esôfago torácico do cão.
