Lay emphasis on the aesthetic effect of wound repair / 中华烧伤杂志

ABSTRACT

"Survival first" has been the leading rule in burn surgery for a long time. However, the life quality of patients in future should also be emphasized on the strategic level during the early treatment of patients with massive burn. Aesthetics is also extremely important in wound repair, and it should form a clear conception in the mind of the attending surgeons. Therefore, the aesthetic effect of each surgical intervention should be elaborated with all enough attention. Moreover, we should constantly improve our techniques and skills to obtain presentable postoperative appearance. In addition, we should emphasize the application of new techniques and materials in wound repair, with which to improve aesthetic effect. In conclusion, we should pay more attention to promoting the aesthetic effect in the treatment of burns and traumatic wounds to maintain our superior status in burn treatment in the world.
