A. Peek et al., SURGICAL-TREATMENT IN THE 2ND STAGE AFTER BURN INJURY WITH EMPHASIS ON RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FACE AND HANDS, Der Unfallchirurg, 98(4), 1995, pp. 198-203
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.
