“…5 The concept of the aesthetic units of the face, introduced by Gonzalez-Ulloa in 1956 for reconstruction in burn surgery, 6,7 has become an important tool for a systematic approach in facial reconstruction, mainly for surgery of the nose. 8 In the treatment of lip cancer, the concept of the aesthetic units of the face has not been taken into account systematically. This is a very important aspect when choosing the right operative technique.…”

Journal of Surgery IntroductionDog bites is common injury and associated with high risk of contamination and subsequent risk of complications and poor outcome. Facial dog bites are even more complex as cosmetic outcome is at its great importance. Retrospective analysis of all dog bite facial injuries treated by Plastic Surgery department. Materials and MethodsEighty one consécutive patients (46 adults and 35 children) treated solely by plastic surgery service for facial dog bite injuries at Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Centre of Vilnius University Hospital, Lithuania between 1993 and 2012 were identified and retrospectively reviewed.The following information was recorded: age of the patient, location of wounds, antibiotic cover, how many facial aesthetic units were involved (one or more), tissue loss, the time from dog bite injury to surgical repair, type of repair, and early complications.We have divided patients into two groups for analysis of the results. First group of patients with one facial aesthetic unit involved and second group of patients with more than one aesthetic unit of the face involved. We have used facial aesthetic unit description described by T Fattahi [1]. ResultsFirst group of the 54 patients sustained facial dog bite injury and had one facial aesthetic unit involved. Majority of patients 38 (70%) were adults and 16 (30%) children. All patients in this group were prescribed antibiotics, 48 patients (89%) prescribed Intravenous antibiotics and 6 AbstractIntroduction: Facial dog bites injuries are high risk of contamination, complex and cosmetic outcome is at its great importance.Methods: 81 consecutive patients (46 adults and 35 children) treated for facial dog bite injuries at Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Centre of Vilnius University Hospital, Lithuania between 1993 and 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. The following information recorded: age, number of facial aesthetic units involved, tissue loss, the duration between injury and surgical repair, type of repair, and complications. We divided patients in to two groups for analysis of the results. Patients with one facial aesthetic unit involved and patients with more than one aesthetic unit involved.

The field of extracranial vascular anomalies is considered as special focus of pediatric otolaryngology and it has shown a rapid development during the last years. The reason for this interest is finally also due to the global acceptance of the classification introduced by the ISSVA (International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies). Hemangiomas are the most frequently observed vascular tumors. Today the systemic propranolol therapy is mostly used for therapy of hemangiomas requiring treatment. Increasingly, the topical application of beta blocker is discussed while the benefit in the head and neck seems to be limited. Vascular malformations are classified according to the morphology of the affected part of the vascular system in arterial, venous, arterio-venous, lymphatic, capillary, and combined vascular malformations. Conventional surgery, sclerosing therapy, and laser treatment are invasive options for the treatment of lymphatic malformations. The options for the treatment of venous malformations could be significantly improved during the last years. In this context, the use of Nd:YAG laser, the conservative treatment of the localized disseminated intravascular coagulation with low-molecular weight heparin, the re-discovery of bleomycin as effective sclerosing agent, and the improvement of alcohol-based embolization agents must be mentioned. Today the treatment with dye laser is the preferred therapy for capillary malformations and it is superior to other therapeutic options as for example photodynamic therapy. Arterio-venous malformations as representatives for high-flow lesions are the high-risk lesions. Frequently they are compared to malignant head and neck tumors, in particular when a curative treatment can no longer be assured because of diffuse or multifocal extent and when the disease shows a progressive course. The combined treatment of embolization and surgical resection and if necessary consecutive defect reconstruction have turned out to be appropriate for arterio-venous malformations. Incurable findings are still a major challenge. Despite the introduction of antiangiogenetic drugs in oncology, the medicamentous therapeutic approach could not be established for arterio-venous malformations up to now.
