Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Burn Reconstruction

Background:

  • Scar contractures are a frequent complication of burn injuries, particularly affecting the head and neck.
  • Neglected burn injuries can lead to severe functional and aesthetic impairments.

Observation:

  • A case study of a 33-year-old female with extensive neck scar contractures post-burn injury is presented.
  • Contractures involved the chin, mandible, chest, and upper limbs, necessitating complex surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent contracture release and reconstruction using split-thickness skin grafts.
  • The surgical procedure involved platysma muscle removal and skin grafting, with a one-month hospitalization period.

Implications:

  • Reconstructive surgery for severe burn contractures is technically demanding and requires specialized centers and expertise.
  • Optimal management of burn contractures, especially in developing countries, remains a significant challenge due to resource limitations.
