title: [Surgical therapy in the second stage after burn injuries with special reference to reconstruction of face and hands].
abstract: Surgical reconstruction in the second stage after burn injury requires an individual approach. The possibilities are determined primarily by the extent of the injury. The timing of the surgery is very important, and functional, aesthetic and psychological aspects must be taken into consideration in each case. Plastic surgery is only one part of the rehabilitation of the burn patients. Examples are given of possible reconstructive procedures for the face and hands.
