Dog bite, Lip reconstructive procedure, V-Y flapAbstract
Dog bite wounds are problems that emergency centers around the world observe and treat frequently. The saliva of these animals is a potential pathological factor since multiple microorganisms are found in it, in addition to the fact that some of the lesions can deform facial symmetry with possible functional repercussions. This article aims to present the clinical case of a 12-year-old patient with a dog bite who underwent V-Y flap reconstruction.
