Abstract

in this study, patients with hypertrophic scars and/or contractures following burn injury were investigated retrospectively. Cases, 153 of !hem, that were admitted to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Pediatric Surgery Clinics, were evaluated according to cause of burn, localization, postburn duration, age groups, where and when the initial care was taken, the place where they came from, those that were underwent operation, and what were suggested far postoperative care. The socio-economic and psychological impact of burn injury with hypertrophic scar and contractures is unbearable. Therefore, early and necessary at home treatment during and postburn injury is important. in this regard, the importance of the means to be used in reconstructive surgery and following the advances in medical treatment and tissue repairment is alsa stressed.
