Abstract

Ten years of burn treatment in a burn center are compared to the ten years prior to 1967: --Survival has increased markedly, due to aggressive local treatment with débridement, topical ointments, biologic dressings, and rapid closure of wounds. --Functional and cosmetic results have improved since tangential excision and immediate autografting are routinely performed. --Favourable results with shorter duration of hospitalization are obtained if doctors and nurses can acquire and apply their knowledge in many cases as is possible in a burn center.
