Background: Injuries and illnesses from animal encounters continue to be a major public health problem. Many injuries remain undocumented and increases mortality before receiving adequate medical care specially in tertiary care setup. Key of management is to increase awareness and knowledge regarding human-animal relationship, prevention and primary treatment of such injuries.Aims and Objectives: 1) To evaluate vulnerable age and sex affected by animal injury.2) To evaluate which body parts are most injured in which type of animal. 3)To evaluate type of surgical intervention required.Materials and Methods: All patients admitted or treated due to animal injuries in the Department of General Surgery, B.S. Medical College and Hospital, Bankura, West Bengal during July,2011 to December,2012. Unwilling patients, patient with aquatic animal injury and who expired on spot or before admission were excluded from study.Results: Total of 59 patients were included in this study, with 69% of them are male, mean age of presentation was 31years and the commonest age group being 3rd decade. Most of the incidence occurs in villages i.e. 90% and mainly injured by dogs 37% followed by cows 29%.Conclusion: Domestic animals like bull, cow and dog can cause various types of injuries and management is a challenge for surgeon who needs to assess the injury and take a call on type of management. Among various types of injuries, perineal injuries are still a paramount for management due to its complex anatomy and less accessibility. Early treatment is required to prevent further morbidity and mortality specially in visceral and thoracic injuries. Therefore, it is useful to raise awareness for preventing this type of injury so as to cause less public health burden.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(5) 2017 36-40

“…Les plaies par encornements possèdent des caractéristiques qui les rendent différentes des plaies par blessure civile. Elles sont en effet caractérisées par des orifices d'entrée et parfois de sortie, des trajets, des cavités, des rebondissements et culs-de-sac, avec un très grand risque infectieux (Gajbhiye, 2016 ;Mokni, 2010).…”

Methodology: It is a descriptive retrospective study, which includes patients treated for abdomen and perineum bullhorn trauma, in the surgery department of Regional Hospital of Dapaong from January 2016 to December 2018 (3 years). Results: 34 patients were treated for abdominal and perineal bullhorn injuries. They comprised of 31 men and 3 women, with an average age of 18.47 ± 16.14 years old (extremes: 6 and 70 years old). They were mainly less than 15 years old and were herd guards. The lesion report noted 9 cases of abdominal blunt trauma, 22 cases of abdominal wounds including 19 cases of penetrating wounds, and 3 cases of perineal wounds including 1 case of associated rectal lesion. Visceral lesions were varied and often associated. The care was mainly surgical. The

Background: Cattle horn injuries are common in rural India, where people make their living rearing the livestock for domestic and farming purposes. Methods: A retrospective study of 40 patients with history of Cattle horn injury admitted to department of general surgery in S.S. Medical College, Rewa which is tertiary care hospital in central India. Study period was November 2016 and October 2018. Results: The vast majority of patients were male (70%), with only 12 women (30%). Male: Female ratio was 2.3:1. Maximum no. of patients belong to age group above 50 years of age. The commonest site of injury was in the abdomen followed by the perineum, back and lower limb. Most common type of injuries were Penetrating injuries followed by Blunt injury. Early surgical intervention was done in 72% of cases. Conclusions: Animals as cow, bull and buffalo are normally a docile and easily domesticated animals in rural parts of India. Injuries caused by these animals can be sometimes life threatening. Awareness in health care professionals about the mechanism of these injuries and a management protocol is necessary to avoid morbidity and mortality.
