Assessing the Results of Neck Reconstruction in Patients with Burn Scars

BACKGROUND Cervical reconstruction is thought to be one of the most important surgical procedures in cosmetic plastic surgery. This study was designed to evaluate the results of reconstructive surgery on a wide range of facial scars and cervical burn scars using a tissue expander. METHODS: We made descriptive prospective studies of 36 patients with extensive burns of the neck and face. Tissue dilator insertion surgery is performed and in response to patient incision tissue expansion begins after 2 or 3 weeks.

Let's see the definition of the word scar. "We associate a wound with a painful wound, but the actual definition of this word shows that it is a sign of healing. Let's look at our scars. Remember the feelings of shame and guilt we feel.The treatment process is not completely ignored, we have reduced it completely.The only reason you have this scar is you Think about the sentence: "Because you have recovered, you have a wound."

One of the big problems faced by burning victims after acute survival is the formation of hypertrophic scars. Current research in several centers focuses on how to reduce and change hypertrophic scar development. One of the aims of this study was to determine whether hypertrophic scarring is caused by genetic susceptibility, proteomics tendency, or surgical procedures. Since hypertrophic scarring requires repetitive surgery for burn patients, these answers are highly relevant. The emergence of the debilitating nature of hypertrophic scars limits the reintegration and rehabilitation of burn patients. It also reduces patient self-awareness. These research projects funded by Shriners Hospitals for Children apply not only to burned patients, but also to other surgical patients with hypertrophic scars and keloids. Significant progress is expected over the next ten years.

Pressure clothing was used to reduce scarring and was developed 20 years ago. Traditionally, elastic bandages have been placed on the legs of burn patients in order to improve venous return and to reduce bruises or blisters. These bandages are also suitable for splinters to reduce and prevent contractures. Therapist observed that burned patients rarely develop hypertrophic scars when using these pressure garments. Continuous wearing of pressure wear can prevent unsightly scars. You can restore it by wearing pressure wear. Researchers who investigated scarring found that collagen fibers of non-hypertrophic scars were parallel while fibers of hypertrophic scars formed predominantly nodular or spiral patterns. When pressure is applied, these diffused disordered fibers become parallel. The relationship between helical fibers depends on the amount of proteoglycans that make up the scar tissue.
