INDICATIONS Burns of the dorsum of the hand that by clinical estimate will not heal within three weeks are ideally handled by this technique. Chances of early functional recovery are enhanced. Full thickness burns of limited extent i.e. upto 5% of TBS area treated by this method shorten hospital stay and lead to early return to preburn functional status. In patients with massive burn injury this method helps reduce the burn size to a total body surface area, which is more compatible with survival.
CONTRAINDICATION OF TANGENTIAL EXCISION: Patients still not fully resuscitated and stable. Burn wounds involving the face and neck. The presence of massive burn wound infection for fear of inducing invasive sepsis. Unavailability of autograft, homograft or heterograft skin for wound closure. Extremes of age. Debilitating constitutional disease. Unavailability of blood. Unavailability of supporting facilities including perioperative environmental control and competent personnel.
