When

Certainly! Let’s delve into burn surgery in more detail. The timing for burn surgery depends on several factors:

Severity of the Burn:

  • First-Degree Burns: These are superficial types of burns and must heal independently in a matter of days. Surgery is not usually required.
  • Second-Degree Burns: A burn should not be less than 10 percent of your body, particularly of sensitive parts such as the face, feet, or the groin, in which case surgical consultation is necessary.
  • Third-Degree Burns: These are the critical burns subject to surgical procedure. Surgery aims to heal dead tissue, manage pain and complicate the prevention.

Depth and Extent:

  • Extensive Burns: Surgery on deep burns (of any depth) may be needed. This decision ensures the patients’ comfort and adequate wound management.
  • Deep Burns: When the tissue burns through deeper tissue, the surgery becomes inevitable. Skin grafting or flaps are used to seal wounds and to speed healing.

Wound Assessment:

  • Early Evaluation: Seek medical attention promptly after a burn injury. The severity of the wound will be evaluated by a doctor, who will prescribe some form of treatment.
  • Transfer to burn center: In the case of a burn that fits the set guidelines (based on size, depth, or location), a transfer to a burn center can be considered the best option.

Goals of Treatment:

  • The Surgery: Surgery is used to treat pain and trauma.
  • Dead Tissue Removal: Surgery: Surgical debridement, which involves necrotic tissue removal, is done.
  • Infection Prevention: This surgery lowers infection risk.
  • Scar Minimization: There is good wound closure, which reduces scarring.
  • Functional Restoration: Surgery is aimed at restoring function and aesthetics.

To conclude, the intimate evaluation by a medical expert is essential. In case of severe burns, contact medical care immediately so the surgeon can decide when to conduct surgery.
