Burn and Plastic Surgery is the clinical department for the diagnosis and treatment of burns and scalds, wound repair and plastic and aesthetic issues, combining the dual functions of trauma treatment and functional and aesthetic reconstruction. The department undertakes both the emergency care of severe burns and scar revision, wound reconstruction and cosmetic surgery, helping patients regain both function and confidence. Scope of Services and Common Conditions The department's main clinical scope includes: first aid and systematic treatment of various burns and scalds; electrical injuries and chemical burns; chronic wounds such as diabetic foot, pressure ulcers and non-healing postoperative wounds; revision of hypertrophic scars and keloids; correction of congenital or acquired deformities; and cosmetic procedures including double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty and mole removal. For scars, functional impairment and aesthetic issues left after burns, the department provides systematic assessment and revision plans. Specialized Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques For patients with moderate to severe burns, Burn and Plastic Surgery performs early debridement, skin grafting and comprehensive anti-infective treatment, promoting wound healing through techniques such as negative pressure wound therapy and flap transplantation. The department emphasizes post-burn scar management, using pressure therapy, laser treatment and surgical revision to improve scar appearance and function. Plastic surgery emphasizes individualized design, pursuing natural and aesthetic outcomes while ensuring safety. Who Should Visit and Clinic Guide Individuals who have sustained burns or scalds, those with long-term non-healing wounds, and those troubled by scars or with cosmetic needs may visit Burn and Plastic Surgery. For burn first aid, rinse the wound with running cold water, avoid applying folk remedies, and seek timely medical assessment. Patients with chronic wounds should actively treat the underlying disease (such as controlling blood glucose) and cooperate with wound care to promote healing. Clinic Notes Extensive burns, electrical injuries, chemical burns, and burns of important areas such as the face and joints require immediate emergency care; do not delay. Scar revision and cosmetic surgery should be performed in regular medical institutions; communicate expected outcomes and risks fully before surgery, and follow medical advice for wound care afterward to avoid infection.
