title: [Lay further emphasis on the cosmetic repair of deep burn wounds in extraordinary regions or caused by uncommon agents].
abstract: Along with the vigorous development of medical science and other related subjects, a lot of new techniques, concepts, materials, and methods continuously sprung up. The techniques of plastic and cosmetic surgery have already been used to repair burn wound at the early stage, especially to those wounds in extraordinary regions or caused by uncommon agents. These advances made burn wound treatment change from simply covering wound to save the patient's life to repairing wound and reconstructing function at the same time, which might achieve the aim of cosmetic repair in the future. Because of the hard work of burn surgeons, some progresses on the cosmetic repair of deep burn wounds in extraordinary regions or caused by uncommon agents have been achieved, but there is still a long way to go for the aim of cosmetic repair. Clinical practice has proved that as long as the basic principles of cosmetic repair are followed, the techniques and methods of plastic and cosmetic surgery are employed correctly, and the role of burn rehabilitation is highly emphasized, it is practicable to achieve cosmetic repair of deep burn wounds in extraordinary regions or caused by uncommon agents.
