Abstract
This case report described the use of tubular subdermal flap to dorsal nasal reconstruction of an old dolichocephalic dog. A nine-year-old Dachshund female dog-weighing 10 kg presented with deep and extensive wound in the dorsal nasal region was attended at veterinary clinic, Sorocaba city, São Paulo, Brazil. The reconstructive surgical procedure was performed in three stages with an interval time of 25 days, which included the preparation of the tubular subdermal flap; the advance of the flap to the region of the tissue defect, and the removal of excess flap. The region healed 14 days after the last stage. The tubular subdermal flap was effective for treating ulcerative epithelial wounds associated with interstitial lymphoplasmocyte dermatitis and vasculitis of the dorsal nasal region of an old Dachshund dog.
Highlights
Tissue defects in dog’s face that require reconstructive surgery are associated with trauma, chronic inflammation, chronic infections, resection of neoplasia, and congenital changes (HAAR et al, 2013; PAVLETIC, 2018a)

This case report described the use of tubular subdermal flap in a wound in the dorsal nasal region of an old dolichocephalic dog since this region is lack tissue, corroborated with literature (CORREA et al, 2013; HAAR et al, 2013; PAVLETIC, 2018a)
Summary
Tissue defects in dog’s face that require reconstructive surgery are associated with trauma, chronic inflammation, chronic infections, resection of neoplasia, and congenital changes (HAAR et al, 2013; PAVLETIC, 2018a). Tubular subdermal flap is an alternative procedure that reaches and covers wounds in regions with a lack of adjacent tissue (HEDLUND, 2008; PAVLETIC, 2018b). Reports regarding the use of the tubular subdermal flap are less frequent in the literature (COLOMBO et al, 2016; POPE, 2006; WORLEY, 2016; CHITI et al, 2018; OLIVEIRA et al, 2019).
