[Multidisciplinary integration in the diagnosis and treatment in burns and wound repair surgery: current status,...

Burn medicine, as the only clinical discipline named based on etiology, is an interdisciplinary subject that integrates burn trauma emergency, wound repair, functional reconstruction, and comprehensive rehabilitation. The history of burn medicine development is an evolutionary history of the continuous integration and permeation of multi-disciplinary technologies and the continuous improvement of theoretical systems. In recent years, with the improvement of public protection awareness and changes in the disease spectrum, the burn discipline is undergoing a profound transformation from single-specialty treatment to the multidisciplinary team (MDT) collaborative diagnosis and treatment model. Its scope has gradually expanded to a more integrated burns and wound repair surgery. This article starts from the changes in the disease spectrum of the discipline, systematically analyzes the necessity, current status, and main practice models of multidisciplinary integration in the diagnosis and treatment of burns and wound repair surgery. It explores the opportunities and challenges that cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and regenerative medicine pose to the innovative development of the discipline in promoting the MDT collaboration, and puts forward the future direction for the development of MDT collaborative diagnosis and treatment in burns and wound repair surgery, hoping to provide a reference for the discipline construction.
