Purpose: One of the primary causes of heat-induced compartment syndrome is the loss of elasticity of the body surface eschar itself, we have recently replaced escharotomy with conservative tangential excision in the treatment of compartment syndrome caused by heat and achieved good results.
Methods: Since 2019, our burn center has applied conservative tangential excision and heterogeneous dermal coverage technology for decompression treatment of 16 patients with thermal-induced compartment syndrome, involving 19 parts of the limbs and 5 parts of the chest and abdomen. All cases were treated with decompression under general anesthesia within 12-48 h after burn.
