Role of Dermabrasion Assisted Tangential Excision in Paediatric Electrical Burn Wounds
Abstract: Early removal of necrotic tissue in deep electrical burns by tangential excision decreases scarring and promotes wound healing. Dermabrasion, traditionally used in dermatology for facial resurfacing and scar treatment, has shown promising results when applied to burn wound management. In burn care, dermabrasion serves as a form of blunt debridement, effectively removing superficial necrotic tissue without damaging underlying healthy structures. This technique helps reduce local inflammation and lowers the likelihood …
