Using rational strategies for children's scars based on more than 5 years assessment after burn.

Background: Paediatric patients with scars after burn are regularly encountered. Discussion of rational strategies for management are of value. The objective of the study was to describe development and utilisation of strategies for paediatric burn scars up to five years after injury.

Methods: We included 164 cases aged from 5 to 8 years old in our study; all had burn scar deformities.

Results: Assessments were made up to December 31, 2019. The following strategies were used: sequential treatment, reconstruction based on facial aesthetic units, predicting the effect of surgery on development, releasing skin tension and application of photoelectric technology or other non-surgical measures.

Conclusions: Using rational strategies for paediatric burn scars is very important.
