title: [Early excision and grafting in facial burns].
abstract: Early excision and graft surgery is now a routinely used procedure, but whereas its application for burns of the hand has been well determined it is employed less extensively for facial lesions. It is a heavy and very hemorrhagic surgery requiring close cooperation between surgeons and intensive care physicians. Its use for the face is not easy to define, difficulties arising because of the need to establish the depth of the burn, the hemorrhagic risk involved and the need for effective compression after graft surgery.
