Abstract:
In Europe Hungary was among the initiators to establish specialised surgical departments for the treatment of burnt patients. This new element in the structure of the hospital resulted in specialisation of surgeons for skin replacement and scar surgery. Thus the surgeon treating burnt patients is becoming the "surgeon of wounds" The treatment of thermal injury needs more detailed knowledge of biochemistry, pathophysiology and internal medicine compared with other field of surgery. The specialised thermist is in many respect similar to the intensivist.
