ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To describe a technique using labial mucosal flaps to correct stenosis of the nares subsequent to bilateral rostral maxillectomy and nasal planum resection. STUDYDESIGN:
Case report ANIMALS Client-owned dog.METHODS:
A 10-year-old, neutered male Golden Retriever developed repeated stenosis of the nares, at first after bilateral rostral maxillectomy and nasal planum resection, and again after revision surgery. Bilateral, superior labial mucosal transposition flaps were created and interpolated between the nasal mucosa and skin after debridement of scar tissue.RESULTS:
The stenosis did not recur after mucosal flap transposition and the dog returned to normal quality of life (last follow-up 25 months postoperative).CONCLUSION:
Single-stage, superior labial mucosal transposition flaps can be used to correct nares stenosis subsequent to previous surgery.
