Effective adhesive bandage for treating total mastectomy in cats: a case study

The high frequency and aggressiveness of multiple tumour lesions the mammary gland in cats justify need for a single-stage bilateral mastectomy lymphadenectomy with wide excision tissues, which leads to formation significant postoperative suture. dynamics clinical, haematological, hemostasiological indicators prove feasibility using medical glue BF-6 (ATС code V03A X) as protective adhesive plaster after total mastectomy. bandage provided reliable protection surgical wounds. It promoted shortening their regeneration period by 1.3–1.5 times (p<0.01–0.001) reduced average time complete wound healing from 18.3 ± 0.7 14.1 0.9 days (p<0.001). usage (polyvinyl butyral phenol-formaldehyde) was accompanied dynamic decrease area wounds starting day seven 1.3–1.8 However, even 21 days, epithelialization not recorded all cases. Protection ensured risks development such complications suppurative inflammation (twice), failure suture, seroma (1.5 both). also averted forming an abscess at site. efficiency confirmed (activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin index, international normalized ratio, fibrinogen), reflect intensity inflammatory reaction accompanying prospect further research is clinical implementation dressings that provide mechanical optimize biological mechanisms
