Features: The repair of burn wounds with different depths has its own characteristics and corresponding wound treatment methods. Additionally, due to anatomical differences, the treatment methods for burn wounds in certain areas also vary. After re-epithelialization or autologous skin grafting of deep burn wounds, the natural healing process does not terminate; it still requires a tissue remodeling process. During this process, scar maturation occurs. Therefore, the repair of deep burn wounds should also include rehabilitation treatment and reconstruction to prevent complications such as scar hypertrophy and contracture-induced deformities, functional impairments, and disfigurement. This book not only introduces issues related to wound repair in burn treatment but also focuses on the methods and techniques for wound management. For systemic treatment after burns, please refer to relevant specialized books.
