We evaluated the use of adhesive cyanoacrylate ester in the synthesis of skin wounds of donkeys by analyzing the duration of surgery and healing process. For this, we used five clinically healthy, male donkeys, weighing 103 ± 8.5 kg, in which we performed a 10 cm skin incision in the dorsal-ventral direction, in the thoraco-lateral region, ventral to the scapula and caudal to the withers on both sides. The adjacent tissue was brought together with 2-0 simple catgut and approximation of the skin on one side with nylon (Control Group) and on the opposite side with adhesive (treatment group). We assessed the wounds daily and clinically and by light microscopy after 10, 20 and 30 days. The cyanoacrylate glue proved to be a viable alternative for cutaneous synthesis of donkeys, for reducing the time of surgical procedure in 35.3%, and for allowing a good coaptation of the edges of the wound, without interfering with the healing process.KEYWORDS: cutaneous adhesive; dermorraphy; equine.
