Abstract
Facial loss injuries present a significant surgical challenge, often requiring not only the expertise of a plastic surgery specialist but also interdisciplinary collaboration. Special attention is given to acral structures, such as the nose, lips, and auricles. This article details each step in the reconstruction of these areas, including the use of flap plastics and microsurgical techniques. Emphasis is placed on the specifics of treating animal-induced injuries, with an overview of infection prevention and treatment strategies. The article also includes a list of replantation centers in the Czech Republic that provide care in cases of loss injuries requiring it.
The aim is to offer a comprehensive overview of current trends and practical approaches for surgeons encountering these complex cases in outpatient practice.
