Abstract

After clinical diagnosis, 20 horses and six mules were submitted to surgical treatment of skin lesions in the dorsal region through an elliptic incision of the wound closed by a Donatti fastening suture. This surgical technique was shown to be adequate and 93% of the animals recovered in approximately 20 days after surgery.
