A

Primary cleft palate

Abnormal lip fold conformation

31
Q

Traumatic injuries to lips/cheeks?

A

Lip avulsion

32
Q

Lip/cheek in dog 1st and 2nd most common neoplasia

A
  1. Melanoma
  2. SCC
33

A

SCC
MCT
Fibrosarcoma

34
Q

Properties which make lips/cheeks a good surgical area? (3)

- Vascular - resistance to infect
- Elasticity - stretch/manipulation

35
Q

In what breeds may excessive mandibular lip tissue may be present? (5)

A

Spaniels,
Saint Bernards,
Newfoundlands,
Retrievers
Irish Setters

36
Q

1ry cleft palate:
Flaps are created from the oral and nasal tissues and these are defects of the lip and most rostral part of the hard palate leading to harelip are classed as ?

A

1ry palate defect

37
Q

Which side do Primary Cleft Palate effect?

A

Left

38
Q

Harelip with Primary Cleft Palate; how often is surgery needed?

A

Rare - often cosmetic

39
Q

What is used to make flap for 1ry cleft palate?

A

oral and nasal tissues and these are used to reconstruct the defects in the rostral palate and the floor of the nasal vestibule

40
Q

What are often needing to be remvoed for successful raising of flaps with primary cleft palate? (2)

A

Ipsilateral incisors and canine tooth

41
Q

What surgical procedure is used for lip fold confirmatio issue?

A

cheiloplasty

42
Q

How to perform a cheiloplasty?

A

The patient is placed in dorsal recumbency to allow access to both lips. An elliptical incision is made around the affected area of skin, the muscle is preserved as the skin is elevated and excised. The skin is closed with intradermal sutures.

43
Q

Larger breed dogs with redundancy and eversion of the lower lip may also present with large amounts of saliva falling out of the oral cavity. This is not a health issue for these dogs but can become a management issue for owners.

What surgery may be considered?

A

Anti-drool cheiloplasty where the lower lip is suspended from the upper cheek is reported to help with saliva retention. Ligation of the submandibular salivary gland duct in association with cheiloplasty may also be performed.

44
Q

Lip avulsion; initial step?

A

The wound should be lavaged and gently debrided to remove any debris

45
Q

Lip avulsion; how to suture if can 1ry repair?

A

simple interrupted suture pattern may be achieved

46
Q

Lip avulsion; if primary repair is not possible; then what?

A

sutures are placed around the incisor teeth or through pre-drilled holes in the mandibular bone to anchor them securely. The submucosa is sutured through these bone tunnels whilst the gingival tissue is apposed to the mucosa in a continuous pattern.
