[Amputation of the point of the nose in children due to a dog bite. Repair with a Washio flap. Long-term results].

Washio's temporo-retro-auricular flap was used to repair point of nose in three children and one ala nasi amputated by dog bites. Details of the technique are presented and long-term results discussed. Despite two inconveniences--dyschromia and relative stenosis of nares--this method compares favorably with other surgical procedures and over the time has proved to be one worth recommending.
