“…If the ear is avulsed with vessel loss, primary anastomosis is not possible and vein grafts should be used or the temporal artery can be freed up and brought posteriorly as a vascular leash for anastomosis [64]. Arterial anastomosis in the amputated lip is by the labial artery [56,60,66]. In nasal replantation, labial artery, the left nasal branch of the facial artery and the right nasal branch of the left supratrochlear artery [62], a branch of the angular or lateral nasal artery [67], the dorsal nasal artery [10,68], and a branch of the anterior ethmoidal artery, an internal artery of the nose, running perpendicularly in the intercartilaginous region have been used as recipient arteries.…”

This article is to review the role of microsurgery in facial trauma reconstruction. Microsurgery was developed since 1960s and had been applied on facial trauma from 1970s to treat amputated scalp, nose, ear and lip. Microsurgical replantation of scalp and small parts of face restores function and achieves aesthetic results, but small size of vessels and venous drainage problems are most technical challenging. In this article, we reviewed many talented authors' work to solve those problems in facial tissue replantation. If defects are huge, we need microsurgical free flaps for reconstruction. The current workhorse is anterolateral thigh flap and we reviewed the versatility and new concepts of the flap. Development of perforator flaps was another milestone of flap reconstruction because of better cosmetic result and lower donor site morbidity. We reviewed the concepts, history and application of perforator flaps. Finally, facial replantation developed in recent 5 years to treat extremely large facial defects which cannot be reconstructed with microsurgical flaps and traditional flaps alone. The task is complex and needs a large team to support the whole procedure. We also reviewed the facial allotransplantation, which is the ultimate application of microsurgery in facial trauma reconstruction.

“…2,[10][11][12][13][14][15] Only a few other articles exist in which medicinal leeches have been used in soft tissue trauma, including their use in traumatic macroglossia, 16,17 for partial nasal avulsion, 18 and for total avulsion of the lip in which only arterial revascularization was possible. 19 In this report, 4 cases of facial soft tissue avulsion will be presented in which medicinal leeches were used acutely. In each case, there was adequate arterial inflow into the avulsed soft tissue segments but inadequate venous outflow.…”
