Burns Reconstruction refers to the surgical procedures and techniques used to restore form and function to the affected areas of the body after a burn injury.
The aim of burns reconstruction is to improve the appearance, mobility, and overall quality of life for individuals who have suffered significant burns.
Burn injuries can cause damage to the skin, underlying tissues, and sometimes even deeper structures such as muscles, nerves, and bones. The severity and extent of the burn determine the complexity of the reconstruction required.
Common approaches used in Burns Reconstruction:
Skin Grafting: Skin grafts involve taking healthy skin from one part of the body (donor site) and transplanting it onto the burned area. Skin grafts can be split-thickness grafts, where a thin layer of skin is transplanted, or full-thickness grafts, which involve transplanting the entire thickness of the skin.
Tissue expansion: This technique involves placing a balloon-like device called a tissue expander under the healthy skin near the burned area. Over time, the expander is gradually filled with saline solution to stretch the skin. Once sufficient skin expansion is achieved, the expanded skin is used to cover the burned area.
Flap Surgery: Flap surgery involves transferring a section of healthy skin, along with its blood supply, from a donor site to the burned area. Flaps can be local flaps, where nearby tissue is used, or distant flaps, where tissue is taken from a different part of the body.
Scar revision : After the initial healing phase, scar revision techniques may be used to improve the appearance and function of burn scars. These may include laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, or surgical excision.
