[Facial injuries caused by firearms. Practical approach in emergencies].
Firearm injuries to the face are often a disconcerting clinical problem for the non specialized surgeon. The aim of this article is to de-mystify this emergency situation, which is common in Maxillo-facial units, and requires rigorous management and respect of well established general surgical principles. The authors subsequently review the need for secondary repair by a maxillo-facial and plastic surgeon.
