Burns Services
Burn Services deal with the in-depth treatment of persons who have experienced burn injuries. Plastic surgeons and a multidisciplinary team are the two entities that usually provide these services. Burn specialists determine the level of burns, wound healing, and complication prevention. They adopt skin graft and flap surgery to improve functional restoration and cosmetic performance.

When
Surgery in the cases of burns is usually advised under certain circumstances. The following are guidelines that should be observed when burn surgery is to be considered:
Size of Burn: When your burn occupies over 10 percent of your total body surface area, it can be surgically necessary. Large burns may affect general health and comfort, and require intervention.
Extent of Burn: Surgery is frequently necessary in third-degree burns (where the skin turns white or charred). Also, second-degree burns that occupy an area of your body over 10 percent can be another reason to undergo surgical treatment.
Complexity: Where the burn wound is deep, extensive, or complex, then surgery would be required. Surgery, including skin grafting, assists in the closure of wounds and healing.
It is important to remember that it is the timely examination of a medical specialist. In severe burns, consult an emergency doctor to determine the proper steps.
