RESUMEN
Las mordeduras por animales son heridas complicadas. Estas lesiones pueden ser macerantes, punzantes, lacerantes o avulsivas. Es imprescindible la profilaxis antibiótica, antitetánica y antirrábica. El aspecto más importante es la limpieza de la herida y el ulterior cierre primario de la misma. El manejo postquirúrgico incluye un control estrecho para prevenir o controlar la infección y la revisión secundaria de la cicatriz para reconstrucción, en caso necesario.
