This study introduces a novel intra-operative patient positioning technique for burned extremities, enabling full surgical access without patient repositioning. This method proved safe over 13 years, with no attributed complications in burn surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Techniques
  • Burn Management
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Circumferential access to burned extremities is crucial for effective prepping and surgery.
  • Traditional patient positioning often requires repositioning, increasing operative time and risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel intra-operative patient positioning technique.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this technique for burn surgery on extremities.

Main Methods:

  • A specific patient positioning method was developed to allow circumferential access.
  • The technique was utilized over a 13-year period in patients undergoing surgery for burned extremities.

Main Results:

  • The described technique facilitates complete circumferential access to burned extremities.
