Técnicas reconstrutivas em cirurgia oncológica de canídeos e felídeos

Abstract

Actualmente, a doença oncológica é uma das principais causas de morte em canídeos e felídeos. A cirurgia é o método mais antigo e, ainda hoje, de maior sucesso no tratamento de neoplasias, podendo também ser usada como método preventivo, diagnóstico ou paliativo. A necessidade de realizar exéreses tumorais com margens suficientemente amplas para evitar a permanência de doença residual, frequentemente origina defeitos de grandes dimensões cujo encerramento constitui um desafio para o cirurgião. Nas últimas décadas foram desenvolvidas várias técnicas reconstrutivas, o que permitiu assegurar a integridade funcional e cosmética dos doentes oncológicos submetidos a cirurgia ablativa, melhorando assim a sua eficácia. O presente trabalho foi elaborado na sequência de um estágio realizado no Centro de Medicina Veterinária Anjos de Assis – Barreiro (Portugal), entre Setembro de 2008 e Março de 2009, durante o qual foram acompanhados vários casos de medicina interna e cirurgia de animais de companhia. Durante este período foram estudados todos os doentes oncológicos submetidos a cirurgia ablativa (n = 37), com o objectivo de caracterizar pormenorizadamente esta amostra populacional com especial relevância para o tema tratado. Neste grupo, 16% dos doentes (n = 6) foram submetidos a técnicas reconstrutivas após a exérese do tumor. Neste trabalho é apresentada uma revisão das técnicas de Cirurgia Plástica e Reconstrutiva com utilidade em Cirurgia Oncológica. Adicionalmente, é proposto um protocolo experimental para o desenvolvimento de uma nova técnica de enxerto cutâneo para reconstrução facial em felídeos, incluindo a avaliação da sua eficácia clínica comparativamente a uma técnica alternativa já existente.

ABSTRACT - RECONSTRUCTIVE TECHNIQUES IN SURGICAL ONCOLOGY IN DOGS AND CATS - Cancer is one of the main causes of death in dogs and cats, nowadays. Surgery is the oldest and still the most successful method of treatment in oncology and can also be used as a method of prevention, diagnosis or palliation. The need for wide resection margins as a way of avoiding leaving residual disease often originates extensive defects, whose closure constitutes a challenge for surgeons. Many reconstructive techniques have been developed in the last decades assuring functional and cosmetic integrity for patients submitted to ablative surgery, thus improving its effectiveness. This work was made following an internship that took place in Centro de Medicina Veterinária Anjos de Assis – Barreiro (Portugal) between September 2008 and March 2009, with several cases of small animal surgery and internal medicine being followed. During this period, all oncological patients submitted to ablative surgery (n = 37) were studied in order to obtain detailed information with special relevance to this subject. In this group, 16% of the patients (n = 6) were submitted to reconstructive techniques after tumor resection. This work presents a review of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery techniques that can be useful in Surgical Oncology. In addition, it is proposed an experimental protocol for the development of a new cutaneous flap technique for facial reconstruction in the cat, including its clinical evaluation in comparison to an already existing alternative technique.
