Tratamento de fístula retocutânea utilizando flap de omento após complicação de diverticulectomia retal

Abstract

Perineal hernia is an important and frequent pathology in pets, it is configured by the depletion of the muscles that form the pelvic diaphragm, allowing other abdominal organs and structures to migrate to the perineal region. As a result of the disease, it is common to develop other pathologies that manifest themselves in a primary or secondary form, such as saculations and rectal diverticula. Treatment is surgical and one of the postoperative complications is the formation of abscesses and rectocutaneous fistulas. The present study aims to report the use of omentum flap as a treatment for rectocutaneous fistula, after surgical complication of rectal diverticulectomy in a dog. The technique proved to be effective, providing excellent healing, preventing new recurrence and without causing any postoperative complications.
