title: [Surgical treatment of deep burns in children (author's transl)].
abstract: The clinical material is described and the principles of burn wound treatment are indicated: --excision and grafting of third degree burns: early whenever possible, delayed if the diagnosis or the limits are difficult to appreciate;--local treatment with Silver-Sulfadiazine of second degree burns, and those of undetermined depth. The difficulty of diagnosing the exact depth of the burn as well as the problem of the sequelae are stressed. The treatment of the complications is mentioned, particularly of the large hypertrophic scars. More than ever, prevention seems to be essential, but also possible.
