Scars are the final result of the four processes that constitute cutaneous wound healing. Permanent scars are produced if the wounds reach the reticular dermis. If the inflammation phase is prolonged and/or more potent for some reason, inflammatory/pathological scars such as keloids or hypertrophic scars can arise. If these pathological scars are located on joints or mobile regions, scar contractures can develop. When used with the appropriate timing and when selected on the basis of individual factors, surgical techniques can improve mature scars. This new edition focuses on the surgical techniques that are used to improve mature scars, burn scars, and scar contractures. In this up-to-date atlas, leading specialists in post-burn treatment and the reconstruction of post-burn scar contractures depict in detail not only surgical techniques but also a variety of advantageous wound treatments. Many new methods invented by the authors are presented. Operative techniques are depicted in detail, and clear guidance is provided on selection of the most appropriate flap surgery. Advice is also given on how to prevent permanently disabling restriction of joint movement as a result of contractures and how to achieve good aesthetic reconstruction. This fully revised second edition of the celebrated Color Atlas of Burn Reconstructive Surgery also features additional material and a subject index, on top of a wealth of clinical cases and bespoke illustrations. This unique work will appeal to a wide audience, from beginners in plastic surgery to specialist surgeons, and prove invaluable for doctors of every kind who deal with wound management.
