ILUSTRAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA E A SUA IMPORTÂNCIA NA DESCRIÇÃO DE UM ESTUDO DE CIRURGIA RECONSTRUTIVA APÓS RINECTOMIA TOTAL EM GATO -
Com o aparecimento da fotografia digital o ilustrador científico tem sentido uma nova
necessidade de demonstrar a importância da sua atividade. No momento de aprendizagem de
processos tão exigentes e complexos como são os procedimentos cirúrgicos, as referências
visuais são um recurso inestimável. Tendo em conta que as fotografias de estruturas
anatómicas podem ser difíceis de interpretar mesmo para cirurgiões experientes, as
ilustrações médicas servem de ponte entre o que é factualmente observável e o que
desejavelmente se pretendia observar para fins de consolidação cognitiva.
O carcinoma das células escamosas é uma das causas mais frequentes da perda da
integridade do plano nasal no gato. Como solução para as consequências da remoção
cirúrgica deste tumor foi pensado o uso de uma prótese nasal.
Este projeto teve como objetivo estudar a possibilidade de descrever através do
desenvolvimento de ilustrações científicas o complexo procedimento cirúrgico de implantação
de uma prótese nasal após rinectomia total por carcinoma das células escamosas em gato.
Para esse fim, foi feito o registo fotográfico da implantação do modelo preliminar da prótese
nasal em cadáver de gato. A informação recolhida nessas fotografias serviu de base para a
realização das ilustrações que documentam esta cirurgia e servem de auxílio visual para o
cirurgião veterinário.
A ilustração científica apresenta algumas limitações, a principal é ser fruto da perceção
de um indivíduo, e como tal suscetível aos erros deste. Apesar disso, mostra ser de grande
valor ao permitir a transição entre diferentes níveis de abstração que torna a compreensão de
procedimentos complexos mais acessível, preenchendo as lacunas na descrição textual dos
mesmos.
ABSTRACT - SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATION AND ITS IMPORTANCE WHEN DESCRIBING A CASE OF RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY AFTER TOTAL RINECTOMY IN CAT - With the emergence of digital photography there is a new need for the scientific illustrator to show how important their activity still is. When learning procedures as complex and demanding as a surgical procedure, visual references are an invaluable resource. Considering that photos taken of anatomical structures can be hard to understand even for experienced surgeons, medical illustrations can be a bridge between what is actually observable and what is desirably intended to be observable for the purpose of cognitive consolidation. The squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most frequent causes of loss of the nasal plane in cats. As a solution to the consequences that the surgical removal of this tumor brings, the use of a nasal prosthesis was considered. This project had the goal of studying how the complex surgical procedure of implantation of a nasal prosthesis after total rhinectomy due to squamous cell carcinoma in a cat could be described with the help of scientific illustrations. For this purpose, a photographic record was made of the implantation of the preliminary model of the nasal prosthesis in a cat cadaver. The information collected in these photographs served as the basis for the illustrations that document this surgery and serve as a visual aid for the veterinary surgeon. Scientific illustration has some limitations, the main one being they are a result of an individual's perception, and as such susceptible to errors. Despite this, it still is of great value by allowing the transition between different levels of abstraction that makes the understanding of complex procedures more accessible, filling the gaps in the textual description of them.
