Andries VS 2020 - Identification of cutaneous arteries of the perineal and caudal thigh region: A cadaveric study in 12 cats
What 3 vessels did the authors identify?
Describe the location of the recommended flaps and the position of their base
“3 vessels: dorsal perineal, ventral perineal artery and cutaneous branch of popliteal artery. Dorsal perineal artery had a large cutaneous angiosome on the caudal thigh, consistent in most cats. Base of dorsal perineal peninsular flap at ischiorectal fossa - 3cm x 5cm long.
The ventral perineal artery and cutaneous branch of the popliteal artery had consistent but smaller cutaneous angiosomes. Base of v.perineal flap caudal ischium. Base of cutaneous branch of popliteal artery flap over popliteal fat pad. “
