Management of Traumatic Facial Soft Tissue Injuries: A Hospital-Based Retrospective Study

Soft-tissue facial injuries were most commonly observed in young adult males, with road traffic accidents as the leading cause and lacerations as the predominant injury type. Flap reconstruction was the most frequently used management approach, particularly for complex defects, with local advancement flaps preferred. Timely and appropriate reconstruction played a key role in achieving satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Abstract

Soft-tissue facial injuries were most commonly observed in young adult males, with road traffic accidents as the leading cause and lacerations as the predominant injury type. Flap reconstruction was the most frequently used management approach, particularly for complex defects, with local advancement flaps preferred. Timely and appropriate reconstruction played a key role in achieving satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes.
