with the complaint of defecation from a very narrow opening since birth. In the clinical examination of the patient, abdominal distention and swelling around the anus were detected. The patient was constantly taking a defecation position and had difficulty defecating. Contrast radiography was taken with the retrograde method, and the obstruction in the anus was detected resulting in the decision of performing an operation. The patient was placed on the table in the prone position and the narrowed part of the rectum was treated by resecting it with 360° anoplasty. Having lowered the rectal mucosa distally, the mucosa and skin were brought together, and then sutured with synthetic non-absorbable monofilament 4/0 suture material. Extra care was taken to preserve the external anal sphincter and anal sacs during dissection. The aim of surgical intervention is to maintain anorectal continuity as well as preserving the external anal sphincter and colon function. Surgical treatment should be promptly performed before chronic and prolonged distention. In the presented case, even though the kitten is 2 months old, successful results were obtained with surgical treatment after diagnosis.
The study consists of a 3.5-month-old female kitten brought to our clinic with the complaint of wide damaged tissue in the mouth area. After the clinical examination of the patient, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment was decided and applied to the large wound identified on the lip, gingiva and hard palate. In this study, the clinical results of PRP application on wound healing in this patient for whom surgical treatment was not suitable are presented.
