Abstract
A 10 year cohort of patients admitted to a verified burn unit were analyzed to assess the role of plastic surgeons in the operative management of those patients. All 3843patients were admitted during this study period. Of these, 1509 of those patients underwent surgical procedures. Plastic surgeons performed 658 operations on these patients, including acute and delayed reconstruction of hand and facial burn injuries. In this population, plastic surgeons played a critical role in acute and reconstructive burn injuries in anatomically complex areas. This series illustrates the need for plastic surgery training in burn care.
