Among APFs, the lateral caudal flap was the most employed (n\u2009=\u20097\/30, 23.3%), while the skin fold flap was the most frequent SPF (n\u2009=\u200919\/32, 59.4%). A significant association was observed between anatomical location and clinical indication (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.028). Overall complication rates did not differ significantly between APFs and SPFs. The most frequently observed complications were necrosis (45.2%) in all flaps. No significant associations were identified between clinical indication and wound dehiscence. Flap dehiscence was significantly more prevalent in SPFs applied to the dorsal body (n\u2009=\u20097\/8, 87.5%;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.032).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>APFs and SPFs demonstrated comparable overall complication rates in feline wound reconstruction, with chronic wounds being the most common indication.
