STEPS TO IMPROVE WOUND HEALING AFTER ONCOLOGICAL SURGERY IN VETERINARY PATIENTS: TOWARDS A CASE SERIES AND QUALITATIVE VALIDATION

Abstract:

Oncoplastic surgery (OPS) is a widely used approach to remove different types of tumors in veterinary patients. However, depending on the tissue site, OPS can be a difficult option, as the wound may not heal appropriately due to constant interruption by the patient, the tissue could lack elasticity and reconstructive flaps from the own patients are difficult to obtain. New protocols to improve wound healing in OPS are needed to minimize the use of flaps, reduce the time of regeneration and improve the recovery of tissue functionality. After 5 years of testing state-of-the-art surgical repairing techniques, a series of steps are suggested by Andrés Villagomez to improve OPS wound healing. A case-series of 50 patients were treated with this protocol, which on average decreased the time of granulation from 15 to 6 days. Primary wounds are treated with autologous activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in a gel form …
