Abstract

Acute management of lye burns of the face has to include continuous irrigation and earliest possible necrectomy. Wound coverage by split thickness skin grafts was quite often found to be problematic for frequent occurrence of secondary necroses. Loss of eyelids is difficult to tackle, since complicated transposition flaps would then be required, with no guarantee of satisfactory cosmetic result.
