Primary tangential excision is a crucial surgical technique for deep hand burns. This method preserves viable tissue, preventing complications and improving outcomes for reconstruction and rehabilitation.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Burn Management
  • Hand Surgery

Background:

  • Deep dermal and third-degree hand burns present significant challenges in tissue preservation.
  • Effective management is critical to prevent long-term complications like fibrosis and impaired circulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the correct technique for primary tangential excision in deep hand burns.
  • To highlight the benefits of this surgical approach in preserving viable tissue.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical technique of primary tangential excision.
  • Operation performed under tourniquet for optimal tissue preservation.

Main Results:

  • Preservation of viable tissue is facilitated by the tourniquet.
