Bite wounds represent one of the most common types of injuries occurring in emergency services worldwide. The majority of these incidents happen due to contact with dogs; however, cases involving other animals and humans cannot be overlooked. When examining bite wounds, it is essential to thoroughly assess the extent of the wound and the affected structures to apply the appropriate therapy, and in more complex cases, reconstruction methods. The study aimed to analyze the frequency of bite wounds in the head and neck region as well as the procedures for managing such patients. All data was collected through the hospital information system of 145 patients admitted to the University Hospital Dubrava over a ten-year period. Most patients belonged to the age group between 18 and 64 years (72.4%), with more than half being female (57.2%).The main cause of the bites were dogs (90.3%), and the injuries were mainly located on prominent parts of the face. Complications were present in 14 (9.7%) patients, with infection being the most common. The majority of patients were successfully treated on an outpatient basis, however, in 14 (9.7%) cases, hospitalization was required, with lip injuries and neccesity for complex reconstruction being the most common reason. In conclusion, this study confirms that dog bites are the dominant cause of such injuries compared to other animals, and that most bites do not result in severe injuries. However, contrary to most existing studies, children did not appear to be the most vulnerable group, and recorded complications were less frequent.
