An Axial pattern flap is a segment of skin is removed from one area of the body to be re-implanted at a close site. The difference from a skin graft is that the axial pattern flap is not completely detached from the body, the segment of skin incorporate an artery and vein which provide blood supply. To maintain blood supply is vital for the survival of the graft.

Axial pattern flaps

The diaphragm is a muscolo-tendineus membrane which separates the thorax from the abdomen. This could lacerate following a trauma like a road traffic accident. Clinical signs will vary according to the extend of the laceration and the organs herniated, pathological effects could include changes on the card-respiratory dynamic or effects on the herniated organs themselves.
The diagnosis is made on the base of the clinical signs and confirmed through the use of X-rays. Surgical repair is performed as soon as the patient is stable enough to undergo a general anaesthetic. Studies have reported that repair within the first 24 hours from the trauma and after 1 to 3 weeks have similar survival time. However this greatly decrease in patient receiving surgical repair after 1 year or more from the trauma

A skin graft is where a segment of skin is completely removed from the body to be re-implanted at a different site. A skin graft is advisable where large portion of skin are lost due to a trauma or for instance for a mass removal. Graft protection in the post operative period is crucial for the surviving of the flap, this is usually done via a bandage which is changed every 24-48 hours. Full or sparse hair growth is usually noticed within 3 weeks after grafting.
All admissions are made in the morning, and all the patients will be discharged in the afternoon after the procedure is completed and they have recovered from the anaesthetic. In case of a patient requiring further treatment outside of business hours, you will be advised to transfer your pet to our out-of-hours provider.
