Early necrectomy in deep burns of aesthetically and functionally important areas. 1979

I Pedisić

Deep burns of aesthetically and functionally important body areas in children may in their later growth and development have a decisive role. Of the total number (2743) of hospitalized children at the Burns Department of the Pediatric Surgery in Zagreb in the last ten years, deep burns of some aesthetically and functionally important body areas were separated and the results of the application of the early necrectomy and immediate grafting method, as recommended by Janzekovic, are analysed. It is concluded that the results, due to the strict and minute application of the method (considered are individual technically important details and solutions) are good in aesthetic and even more so in the functional sense. Very fast recovery of the functions as well as the fact that up till now no surgical corrections for functional disorders were necessary in analyzed areas, along with already known advantages of the early surgical treatment, undoubtfully speak for its application.
