There are two main categories of burn surgery:
1.
Acute
2.
Reconstructive.
Acute Burn Surgery:-
Acute burn care occurs immediately after the injury. It is
delivered by a team of trauma Surgeons (general surgeons) that
specialize in acute burn care. Large burns,
or burns of critical body areas, should be treated at a verified burn center,
such as the Trauma Burn Center here at the Sukriti Plastic and Pediatric Surgery
clinic. Many smaller burns can be
treated with outpatient options
Reconstructive Burn Surgery:-
In Reconstructive burn surgery after the
initial burn wounds have healed. This type of care is usually provided by a plastic surgeon.
The goals of reconstructive burn surgery are to improve both the function and
the cosmetic appearance of burn scars. This involves altering scar tissue, with
both non-operative and operative treatment.
Benefits of Reconstructive Burn Surgery?
Surgery will not be able to remove a
patient’s burn scars entirely, but it will help improve basic functions and
make scars less noticeable. Scarring can limit the normal motion of the neck,
shoulder, hands, or legs by Plastic surgery.
Often surgery to help release this contracture can help a patient regain range
of motion. Facial scarring that leads to problems with the eyelids, lips, nose,
or hair loss can also be helped with reconstructive burn surgery
The
Evolution of Burn care:-
Survival rates for burn patients have dramatically improved within the
past decade. Today's technologies and techniques include laser resurfacing of
burn scars, fat grafting and nerve decompression to reduce pain and itching,
and biologic materials to simplify reconstructive procedures. Plastic Surgery
plays a major role in burn surgery.
After Surgery:-
Following post-surgery instructions are
important to heal and obtain the best possible outcome, both in terms of
function and physical appearance. You will have follow up appointments so your
surgeon can assess your long-term results and answer any questions or concerns
you may have. Your surgeon and therapists will work together to develop the
plan that is best for you. You just need to follow these instructions provide
