| Abstract: | A two-year-old neutered/male mixed-breed dog had received partial maxillectomy for fibrosarcoma. An oronasal fistula occurred as a complication of the surgical procedure. An island palatal mucoperiosteal flap was developed and rotated to repair the oronasal fistula. Acute (1-month) and long-term (8-months) follow-up indicated appropriate healing of the transposed island palatal mucoperiosteal flap with resolution of clinical signs indicative of oronasal fistula. |
