For Veterinary Professionals:
Free grafting can be used reliably to reconstruct extensive surgical wounds in the distal limb in dogs after large tumour resection without the need for a delay to allow granulation tissue to form. 

Surgical specialist Dr Sarah Goldsmid from the Animal Referral Hospital in Sydney explains the procedure during a bandage change.

A full description of the procedure was published in the Journal Of Small Animal Practice. The Abstract can be read here.
