Burn surgery is a specialized field of surgery that focuses on treating burns and their associated complications. Burn surgery can involve acute burn care, reconstructive burn surgery, and cosmetic burn surgery.

Acute burn care involves managing the immediate aftermath of a burn, including wound care, pain management, and infection prevention. Reconstructive burn surgery aims to restore the appearance and function of burned tissue, while cosmetic burn surgery can improve the appearance of scarring and other residual effects of burns.

Burn surgery may involve skin grafting, tissue expansion, or other techniques to restore the affected area. Recovery time and postoperative care depend on the extent of the burn and the specific surgical procedures performed.
