title: [Several cases of emergency repair of loss of skin substance in the child (author's transl)].
abstract: Traumatic loss of skin substance in the child is uncommon. There are three main causes: dog bites, scraping lesions and bullet wounds. In all cases, great attention is paid to initial and early treatment of the wounds (exploration, wound care) under general anaesthesia. Provided the operator is competent, dog bites may be completely repaired from the outset. Lesions due to scraping or bullet wounds should be treated more cautiously with emergency treatment not necessarily seeking to achieve closure at any price.
