Scurt istoric In decembrie 2019 este descoperit un nou virus Corona care realizeaza, se presupune, pasajul de la animal la om iar apoi reuseste sa se transmita de la om la om. Este denumit initial COVID-19 ca apoi sa se numeasca Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). In data de 30 ianuarie 2020, Organizatia Mondiala a Sanatatii (WHO) declara COVID-19 cea de a sasea urgenta sanitara mondiala dupa cele cu H1N1 (2009), Polio (2014), Ebola (2014), Zika (2016), Ebola (2019). Mean basic reproduction number (numarul de contacti infectati) este de 2.24-3.58. (Un pacient infectat poate transmite boala unui numar variabil de 2.24-3.58 persoane). Perioada de incubatie medie este de 6.4…

Inguinal flank fold flap used for reconstruction after a large STS excision in a dog
This is a case of a large Soft Tissue Sarcoma on the lateral aspect of the right stifle. This a male dog, intact, previously diagnosed with a fast growing STS, now 4.5 cm. STS are of great local concern, especially on limbs as the surgical dose requires at least 3 cm in lateral and at least one deep unaffected fascial plane. This requirement produces numerous challenges for the surgical defect closure. In this case the lateral margins were of 3 cm and in the deep, one unaffected muscle layer was included. This produced a large defect which was closed with a large inguinal flank fold flap. The pathology report confirmed…

Oral SCC in a cat treated with radical madibulectomy, good recovery and no recurrence
Oral SCC in cats is well known and not so uncommon disease. Early disease recognition ant treatment is mandatory. Considering Squam Cell Carcinoma require a great surgical dose, have a low metastatic risk but high local recurrence risk, correlated with a small mouth overall area in cats, even a reduced, subcentimetrical lesion requires at least 1 cm in all directions plus the area of the initial lesion, meaning more than 2.5-3 cm, a large surgery for any cat. This is the case of a 13 y old cat, male, castrated, with prior biopsy and SCC confirmation. Owner discussion and adherence is essential for any following treatment option. In this case,…

Adrenalectomy in a 13y female dog with left adrenal gland adenocarcinoma
With a 15-50% mortality rate adrenalectomy in dogs is a medium-high risk surgery. Perioperative risks are high and extend way after the surgery is over. The older the dog the higher the risk. This is a female dog with the best possible outcome after surgery. de Dr. Daniel Lescai Doctor in Medicina Veterinara

Single pedicle advancement flap for reconstruction after TECA and excision of an advanced auricular Squamous Cell Carcinoma-SCC in a cat-Flaps de avans pentru reconstructia unui defect rezultat in urma TECA si a exciziei unui carcinom scvamocelular auricular avansat la o pisica
Interventia chirurgicala in cazul carcinoamelor scvamocelulare este unul dintre tratamentele eficiente impotriva acestei forme de cancer. In cazul pisicilor, carcinomul scavmocelular afecteaza majoritar zonele capului, in aceasta situatie fiind localizat la nivelul pavilioanelor auriculare. Unul dintre pavilioane este afectat major, carcinomul avansand si invadand tesuturile de la baza urechii. Chiar daca metastazeaza doar in 15-20% din cazuri, carcinomul prezinta o agresivitate locala majora si prezinta multiple riscuri de recidiva. De aceea exciziile radicale, largi, in corelatie cu momentul oportun, dimensiunile reduse ale zonei afectate sunt indicate si trebuie realizate pentru a creste sansele de vindecare si pentru a scadea riscurile de recidiva si metastazare. In acest caz a fost necesara…
