Abstract

ABSTRACT The black swan (Cygnus atratus, LATHAM, 1790) is a bird kept as an ornamental in zoos. Because of their long beaks they tend to have a reserved prognosis in musculoskeletal disorders such as beak trauma, secondary to skull bone fractures, presenting irreversible lesions. The aim of this report is present a clinical surgical innovation in the repair of a black swan’s gnathotheca fissure with the application of non-conventional materials used. It was observed that one of the swans kept in a zoo display area had difficulty feeding, with associated weight loss. It was observed tissue loss and a lacerative lesion in the caudal sublingual region of its beak. The lesion was corrected by a separate simple suture in the cranial region of the beak and with a x-clamping using steel surgical wire and the application of dental resin in the distal region to perform a sustentation bridge in the beak end-gap. After 12 days, the animal was able to feed again and remained perfectly adapted to the restoration, reestablishing the anatomical and physiological function of its beak.

手术入路矫正黑天鹅(Cygnus atratus, Latham, 1790)牙缝裂缝-第一例报告

摘要黑天鹅（Cygnus atratus，LATHAM，1790）是动物园里的一种观赏鸟类。由于它们的喙很长，它们在肌肉骨骼疾病（如继发于颅骨骨折的喙创伤）中往往具有保留的预后，呈现出不可逆的病变。本报告的目的是介绍一种应用非常规材料修复黑天鹅颚裂的临床外科创新。据观察，其中一只饲养在动物园展示区的天鹅喂养困难，体重减轻。在其喙的舌下尾区观察到组织丢失和撕裂性损伤。通过在喙的颅骨区域进行单独的简单缝合，并使用外科钢丝进行x夹持，并在远端区域应用牙科树脂，在喙端间隙中进行支撑桥，从而矫正病变。12天后，这只动物能够再次进食，并完全适应修复，重建了喙的解剖和生理功能。
