How does the treatment proceed?
Mild burns can often heal conservatively through wound care, coordinated by the wound care clinic at Jessa Hospital.
When a burn wound proves clinically deep second- or third-degree after several days, surgical debridement with reconstruction by skin grafting is often performed.
