This study evaluated the reverse flap technique on the Saphen artery (Reverse saphenous conduit flap), used in veterinary plastic surgery to close wounds of the tarsus and metatarsus. Due to the small volume and low elasticity of the skin in these areas, to close defects can be a very difficult task. To solve this problem, veterinary surgery uses a reverse on the Saphen artery. This method was effectively used in 13 cases in dogs with wound defects of the distal part of the pelvic limb. We evaluated the degree of flap survival, complications, and the final result. All eleven patients revealed excellent results at the end of treatment. All animals had certain complications that were eliminated in the postoperative period. Competent use of the reverse flap technique on the Saphen artery gives excellent results in the reconstruction of skin and soft tissue defects of the tarsus and metatarsus.
