Abstract:
Because of high infection rats and because of possible deformities after radical débridement there is still some restraint in primary wound closure in facial bite injuries. Today the sophistication of facial reconstructive surgery provides the possibility even with injuries with significant skin defects to gain primary healing with satisfactory results from a cosmetic point of view as well as from a functional one.
