Summary

Dog bite lip injuries are common in children and adults. Surgical techniques like wedge excision, myocutaneous flaps, and mucosal flaps (von Esmarch technique) effectively reconstruct various lip defects, preserving function and aesthetics.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Dermatology

Context:

  • Dog bite injuries frequently affect the lips, particularly in children (facial injuries) and adults (kissing injuries).
  • Lip defects vary from minor to major, involving all layers or specific structures like the vermilion.

Purpose:

  • To outline surgical strategies for reconstructing dog bite-induced lip defects.
  • To highlight the efficacy of different reconstructive techniques based on defect severity and location.

Summary:

  • Minor all-layer lip defects are managed with wedge excision.
  • Major lower lip defects utilize myocutaneous flaps, while upper lip defects are reconstructed with exchange flaps.
  • Vermilion defects can be effectively treated with mucosal flaps using the von Esmarch technique, ensuring excellent aesthetic and functional outcomes without compromising mouth opening.
