J Burn Care Res. 2018 Apr 20;39(3):313-318. doi: 10.1097/BCR.0b013e3182920d29.

Abstract

Major advances in burn care have reduced post-burn morbidity and mortality. The development and incorporation of new wound healing modalities into the clinical arena have contributed to this improvement by allowing standard-of-care regimens to be established. These regimens range from early excision to the use of cultured epithelial autograft. Here, we review the wound care options that are now well established and used by many burn surgeons.
