Abstract
The personal experience of the authors with the treatment of extensive and deep burns is submitted. Operative treatment was resorted to in 78 patients, with 121 plastic operations performed. Homoplastic material was used in thirty interventions. The reduced mortality rate after the application of surgical treatment is accounted for as well as the importance of resuscitation measures during the shock phase. The method of choice was free skin autografting (autoplasty) with whole dermatome transplants, and whenever unpracticable - the method of Gabarro. The follow-up studies of the late results corroborate the significance of the surgical management and of the resuscitation measures in similar cases. The importance of setting up specialized sections for the treatment of burns within bigger hospital units is also given due consideration.
