“…In our case, the extent of the upper lip defect was over 70% and the left comissure was also missing. In this sense, it can be said that this case was surgically more challenging than larger injuries (like complete degloving) without significant tissue loss [12]. After the initial trauma treatment period, the lip defect was reconstructed with a combination of two methods.…”

Upper lip defects caused by animal bites can result in serious oral and facial functional compromise. The management of such large defects in a way that an optimal functional and cosmetic outcome is reached remains a major reconstructive challenge. We present the upper lip reconstrucion of a 57-year-old woman who was attacked by her dog. The attack caused severe scalp and facial injuries, including a large upper lip defect. After initial trauma treatment, the lip defect was reconstructed by the combination of the Kazanjian and Abbé flaps. No venous circulation defect, wound healing problems or other complications were detected. After three months, sensory function of the area returned, and after 6 months the movements of the lip were satisfactory, the patient was able to pucker the lips, open the mouth and to eat. Beyond that, a cosmetically acceptable outcome was reached, so that the psychosocial reintegration of the patient was not at risk.We propose that combination of the Kazanjian and Abbé flaps offers an excellent alternative for the reconstruction of wide or total lip resections.

“…Our patient has lost approximately 75% of the total volume of the upper lip due to the above described injury. In this sense, this case was surgically more challenging than larger injuries (like complete degloving) without significant tissue loss (Catunda et al, 2012). Although the reconstruction resulted in a slight decrease in the size of the orifice, the subsequent mucosa plasty led to a functionally and esthetically acceptable size.…”
