摘要
The aims of burn reconstruction should be to preserve, restore, and maintain function and appearance so the patient can recover a social life. Reconstruction surgery is delayed until the scar tissue has fully matured; it occurs generally by 9 to 12 months or more (merits of vitro-pressure test). Exception in presence of severe contracture (growth disturbance, unstable scars, corneal exposure with ectropion, severe microstomia) Occupational and physical therapy, scar management, compressive techniques, psychotherapy are all integral components of burn rehabilitation, but the place of plastic surgeon is fundamental all along the process.
