Early excision and sequelae of facial and cervical burns: A matched-cohort study of 110 patients
Background
Early surgical excision of deep burns is a life-saving strategy, but its impact on long-term sequelae, particularly in the cephalic region, remains insufficiently studied. This is a critical concern, as facial and cervical burns often carry significant functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial consequences.
Methods
We conducted a matched observational cohort study comparing adults with deep facial and/or cervical burns who underwent early excision (<10 days post-injury) versus those treated later (≥10 days). A total of 243 patients were screened, and 55 matched pairs were included based on age, sex, burn depth, and total body surface area burned. A sensitivity analysis was performed using a 7-day threshold.
Results
Sequelae occurred in 36.4 % of patients in the early excision group versus 33.4 % in the delayed group. The difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.69). The relative risk (RR) of sequelae with early excision was 1.11 (95 % CI: 0.66–1.86). Sensitivity analysis using a 7-day threshold yielded a similar RR of 0.98 (0.56–1.70), indicating no increased risk associated with earlier intervention.
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that early excision (<10 days) of deep facial and cervical burns in adults does not increase the risk of long-term sequelae. Larger prospective studies are needed to validate these results and further guide clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
