Burns can be physically and mentally overwhelming for patients and their family. Burn reconstruction is an arduous process that offers wound care and surgical treatment to patients. Surgeons may perform the procedure on a very small area or handle a life threatening case. The treatment depends on the category of burn; Superficial Burn (first degree), Deeper Burn (second degree) and Full Thickness Burns (third degree).
Superficial burns may heal within a period of 10-14 days. Proper wound care will heal the burn without leaving a scar. On the other hand, deeper burns and full thickness burns require special surgical care in a hospital Burn Unit.
In most cases, deep burned areas require surgical removal. The surgeon may perform a split thickness skin graft to resurface burned areas. Skin graft is taken from healthy unburned areas of the patient’s body such as the back, buttocks, thigh etc.
