The efficiency of the mesh graft used in lacerating wound was evaluated when comparedto another wound treated by second intention. The debridement of the wound wasperformed, the necrotic tissue was removed for subsequent granulation tissue formationand graft application. The transplanted skin was collected from the thoracic region with thesame measures of the defect to be corrected. The preparation of the graft consisted of theremoval of adipose tissue, and later, with the use of the scalpel blade, several rectilinearcuts were made, leaving it with mesh pattern. The graft was fixed to the wound with theuse of a separate single suture. After the surgical procedure, a bandage with hydrogel wasapplied to the limb of the animal, where the dressing change occurred at intervals of fourdays. We concluded that the wound treatment in the MTE using the graft was efficient withtotal wound healing when compared to the non-grafted MTD treatment.Palavras-chaves: cirurgia reconstrutiva; plástica; cão.
