INDICATIONS<br />
<strong>Burns</strong> of the dorsum of the hand that by cl<strong>in</strong>ical<br />
estimate will not heal with<strong>in</strong> three weeks are<br />
ideally handled by this technique. Chances of<br />
early functional recovery are enhanced.<br />
Full thickness burns of limited extent i.e. upto 5%<br />
of TBS area treated by this method shorten<br />
hospital stay and lead to early return to preburn<br />
functional status.<br />

helps reduce the burn size to a total body surface<br />
area, which is more compatible with survival.
