Abstract
Surgical reconstruction in the second stage after burn injury requires an individual approach. The possibilities are determined primarily by the extent of the injury. The timing of the surgery is very important , and functional, aesthetic and psychological aspects must be taken in to consideration in each case. Plastic surgery is only one part of the rehabilitation of the burn patients. Examples are given of possible r econstructive procedures for the face and hands.
