Reconstruction following head and neck burns.

H W Neale, D A Billmire, J P Carey

    Clinics in Plastic Surgery
    |January 1, 1986

    Summary

    Facial burn reconstruction prioritizes early débridement and grafting. Specialized garments and splinting minimize hypertrophic scarring, while psychological support is crucial for patient recovery and self-esteem.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Burn Management
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Head and neck burn reconstruction requires specialized early care.
    • Hypertrophic scarring is a common complication following facial burns.
    • Psychological impact of facial burns is significant.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline principles for head and neck burn reconstruction.
    • To emphasize the unit concept in facial burn scar resurfacing.
    • To highlight the importance of postoperative care and psychological support.

    Main Methods:

    • Early débridement and medium-thickness sheet grafts for facial coverage.
    • Postoperative garment and mask splinting to reduce hypertrophic scarring.
    • Prioritized reconstruction sequence: neck, periorbital, then perioral areas.

    Main Results:

    • The unit concept of burn scar resurfacing is a primary treatment approach.
    • Similar donor sites are emphasized for facial skin coverage.
    • Reconstruction addresses scalp, ear, nasal, and cheek areas.

    Conclusions:

    • Careful planning and phased reconstruction are essential for head and neck burn victims.
    • While surgical techniques can lessen deformity, burn scars are permanent.
    • Ongoing emotional and psychological support is vital for patient confidence and identity.
