SURGICAL EFFICACY OF EARLY EXCISION AND SPLIT-THICKNESS SKIN GRAFTING IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DEEP BURN WOUNDS
Abstract
Deep burn wounds represent a critical challenge in modern burn care due to extensive tissue destruction, prolonged inflammatory response, and a high susceptibility to infection. The persistence of devitalized tissue within the wound bed contributes to continuous bacterial colonization, release of inflammatory mediators, and systemic metabolic disturbances. These factors significantly delay wound healing and negatively affect patient outcomes, including prolonged hospitalization and increased risk of septic complications.
