Abdominal wall reconstruction aims at restoring the anatomical, functional and aesthetic integrity of this region, while providing protection of abdominal viscera and prevent herniation. There are various techniques used for abdominal wall reconstruction. We present a difficult case of abdominal wall reconstruction performed with a pedicled antero-lateral thigh (ALT] flap with good postoperative results.

Abdominoplasty represents one of the most recognized operations performed by plastic surgeons. Despite its long history and ubiquity, the procedure retains a largely individualistic component, affected by a surgeon's artistry as much as by known clinical approaches. Consequently, complication incidence reporting has been variable, particularly that of umbilical dehiscence.

Burst abdomen is a difficult case to address, with various risk factors responsible for wound dehiscence, one of which is malnutrition and infection. Several flap options can be used specifically to treat extensive abdominal defects, but there are still few articles discussing the use of the rectus femoris flap, especially in cases of extensive abdominal defects accompanied by infection and malnutrition. This report highlights the use of a rectus femoris flap to resolve the complexity of this issue.

Early detection of renal deficient function is imperative for the success of treatments and determining prognosis. In horses, a renal ultrasound can be performed through the abdominal wall (TA) or transrectally (TR), being an important tool for the evaluation of the kidneys. Besides renal morphology, resistivity (RI) and pulsatility indexes (PI) may be early tools to detect renal injury as they reflect arterial compliance.

Respiratory compliance reflects the ability of the lungs and chest wall to expand in response to increases in pressure. In this review, relevant studies were selected through a comprehensive literature search with the aim of summarizing and generalizing them to describe the relevant factors that may be present in veterinary clinical practice and affect respiratory compliance in dogs. Individual factors, including breeds, disease background, drugs administered, and especially surgical procedures, can result in alterations to respiratory compliance due to their impact on the respiratory system in dogs.

Despite advancements in prevention and treatment, peptic ulcer disease (PUD) remains a public health burden, with potentially high mortality rates when not managed properly. Recent studies indicate bleeding as the most prevalent complication, followed by perforation or penetration into adjacent organs and pyloric obstruction. In rare cases, posterior wall or greater curvature ulcers of the stomach can penetrate, leading to splenic artery pseudoaneurysms.
