How to Perform a Periosteal Release in a Canine

About this course

The periosteal releasing incision (PRI) — which increases the mobility of a surgical flap — is a common oral surgical technique that is commonly performed in veterinary practice. In this VetFolio Bytes microlearning video, Dr. Emily Edstrom, DVM, DAVDC, demonstrates how to perform a PRI in a canine patient. The PRI facilitates a tension-free closure that will help prevent dehiscence of the closure. Learn about the considerations for flap creation, how to identify the periosteum, how to perform the periosteal release, and recommendations for suturing the flap closed.
