title: [Cutaneous and mucosal graft for labial defect after animal bite in children].
abstract: Animal bite is frequently involved in children labial defect. The need for labial surgical repair is to restore anatomy and function. Local and regional flap is usually described for labial reconstructions. Few authors recommend mucosal and skin graft. In the present study, we described skin and mucosal graft for reconstruction of complex labial defect. This surgical technique can be applied in very young children with reasonable expectations of excellent functional and aesthetic outcome.
