| Abstract | ||
| The study was conducted to use autogenous cutaneous trunkii muscle flap (CTMF) for repairing of large ventral hernia in sheep. A large ventral hernia was induced experimentally in eight adults' healthy Awassi sheep (4 males and 4 non-pregnant females). A protocol of general anesthesia was performed via an intravenously injection of a mixture of Xylazine hydrochloride 0.05 mg/kg B.W. and Ketamine hydrochloride 2mg/kg B.W. One month after surgical producing of a large ventral hernia the animals underwent for hernioplasty using autogenous CTMF. The results revealed no characteristic postoperative complications as infection, recurrent herniation or wound dehiscence during a period of 12 month postoperation. In conclusion, using autogenous CTMF is a suitable natural prosthetic material for reconstruction of large ventral hernial defect in sheep, as it is inexpensive and repair with strength equal to normal tissue. | ||
