Profile of Human Bite Facial Injuries and Their Management.

ABSTRACT

Human bite facial injuries pose a challenge to the reconstructive surgeons. The site of defect, the three dimensional nature of defect and the need for restoration of the cosmesis of facial unit involved is technically demanding. We describe our experience of 26 patients of human bites to the face with soft tissue loss requiring reconstruction using one or the other modality over a period of 4 years presenting to our hospital.
