Abstract
Retrospectively 173 cases of surface thermal injuries of childhood have been reviewed according to their respective modes of immediate surgical management of abrasion, open and closed-air treatment and discussed with reference to some publications. Despite the application of antibiotic or antiphlogistic dressings in the other two groups, the abrasion method using high speed rotating grinding heads to convert the burn into an easily manageable surgical wound shows a lesser frequency of infection and inflammation and promotes quick natural healing. The method which is not widely used proves conducive in the management of burns in childhood.
