Abstract:
In recent years, precision medicine in various clinical disciplines has made great progress. However, the progress and practice of precision medicine in burn surgery at present have lagged far behind other disciplines due to various reasons including the solidification of concepts and the lack of effective methods and equipment. This article briefly expound the necessities and possible strategies of strengthening the construction and promotion of precision burn medicine system from the aspects of accurate diagnosis of burn wound area and depth, precise treatment of burn wounds, precise monitoring diagnosis and treatment of burn complications and scars, and precise rehabilitation treatment. In order to rapidly promote the development of precision burn medicine in our country, it is hoped that burn medical staffs will pay much more attention to this field, especially to conceptual transformation, development of innovative strategies, tools, and equipment for precise diagnosis and treatment of burn wounds and complications.
