Reconstructive Burn Surgery Techniques
There are several special techniques used in reconstructive burn surgery to address the varied and complex needs of burn survivors. Each of these techniques can be used alone or in combination, depending on the extent of the burn injury and the specific goals of reconstruction. Dr. Parizh tailors the technique(s) to each individual's needs, with the aim of achieving the best possible functional and cosmetic results. Some of these techniques include:
Flap Surgery:
Moving a piece of tissue from one part of the body to another, along with its blood supply, to reconstruct or cover a burn wound. This technique is often used for more extensive reconstruction.
Tissue Expansion:
Inserting a balloon expander under the skin near the burn area. Over time, the expander is gradually filled with fluid, stretching the skin. The extra skin is then used to reconstruct the adjacent burned area.
Microsurgery:
This involves reattaching severed parts or transplanting tissue to the burn site using a microscope to sew tiny blood vessels and nerves. It is particularly useful for more detailed reconstruction work.
Scar Revision and Laser Therapy:
These methods improve the appearance of burn scars, including surgical removal of scar tissue, laser treatment to reduce redness and improve texture, and other techniques to make scars less noticeable.
Fat Grafting:
Fat harvested from another area of the body is used to improve contour irregularities or add volume to areas affected by burns, enhancing the aesthetic outcome.
Skin Grafting:
Transferring skin from an uninjured part of the patient's body to cover areas where the skin has been damaged by burns.
