[Surgical treatment of post-burn deformities of the neck].
Surgical treatment of 205 patients is analysed. It is shown that the traditional methods of correcting post-burn deformities fail to produce good results, either functional or cosmetic. The authors correct post-burn deformities and contractures of the neck by plasty with a graft of uninjured skin taken from the anterior surface of the chest. This method provides the possibility for improving considerably both the functional (in 80.3%) and the cosmetic (in 74.2% of cases) results of restorative-reconstructive operations. It is concluded that this method for correction of post-burn contractures of the neck is the operation of choice.
