This period often takes half a year to more than one year, and in severe cases it can reach 2-3 years. The treatment of burn plastic surgery should start from the early stage of burn wound healing, but the surgical treatment is generally carried out more than half a year after wound healing. However, surgical treatment should be started as soon as possible in the following cases: ectropion of eyelid, severe ectropion of lip and microphthalmia, nostril atresia, adhesion of chin and neck, adhesion scar of each joint area, claw-shaped hand and adhesion hand deformity, severe contracture deformity of chest, abdomen and back, perineum contracture deformity, persistent ulcer, scar that seriously affects aesthetics, etc. What are the common surgical treatments for burn plastic surgery? 1. Scar excision and suture: For some small and narrow depressions or stable scars, scar excision and suture or staged suture can be used. 2. Scar release and local plastic surgery: A cord-like or reticular scar with tension can release or remove the scar, and rotate the surrounding normal skin tissue to the scar defect. 3. Scar excision and free skin grafting: What are the commonly used non-surgical treatments for large-area hypertrophic scars that can be burned? Some linear superficial scars, hypertrophic scars, keloids or physical conditions that cannot withstand surgery can be treated by non-surgery. Of course, some non-surgical treatment is often a supplement to surgical treatment as part of comprehensive treatment. Commonly used methods are: 1, compression therapy: compression with elastic bandage or elastic mesh cover for more than one to three months has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of hypertrophic scar. In recent years, combined with the application of silica gel membrane, it has a good effect on scar treatment. 2. Exercise therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy: standardized exercise plus progressive resistance exercise can obviously improve the recovery of joint function of burn patients' hands and other joint parts. 3, local drug treatment: the commonly used drug hand is steroid hormone. Injecting drugs into scar can make hypertrophic scar degenerate, and itching can be alleviated or disappeared. There are also silicone stickers and bright Ruibao stickers. 4. Radiotherapy: X-ray or local irradiation with radium or cobalt 60 can be used, which is effective for newly emerging hypertrophic scars and keloids. 5. Others: laser, frozen zinc tablets, iontophoresis, ultrasound, wax therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, but the curative effect is not exact, and bed supervision is of little significance.
