[Microsurgical replantation of traumatic amputated lip]

This is a case report of two patients with traumatic amputated lip due to respectively human bite and bicycle head-on-car collision. Both patients were successfully treated by microsurgical replantation within 24 hours and with post-operative leech treatment. Furthermore, a MEDLINE/PubMed search was performed for all scientific English articles of lip amputation and replantation using microsurgery. We want to address the importance of preserving amputated parts and the necessity of 24-hour access to plastic surgery and microsurgery in trauma if needed.
