Early Excision and Skin Graft versus Delayed Skin Grafting for Patients with Deep Thermal Burn Up to 15% of the Body Surface Area: A Prospective Comparative Study

Abstract

Background: The innovation of early burn surgery takes very long time to be well established may be due to improper explanations of burn pathophysiology and unpredicted complications of such surgery [1]. Janzekovic work in the 1970s early allows early surgery of burns to achieve greater acceptance through tangential excision [2]. Delayed skin grafting technique include its relative selectivity and the fact that it is not based on diagnosis, usually involves less surgical intervention, and is simple to practice [3].
