title: The efficiency of burn wounds debridement with use of hydrosurgery--our experiences.
abstract: The aim of the study was to present experience of doctors from the Center for Burns Treatment in Siemianowice Śląskie who use a Versajet system.
  
  
  METHODS
  Debridement with the use of a water jet was applied in 70 patients with IIb° /III° thermal burns in the period between 2009-2013. The corresponding evaluation involved duration of operation, locations, wound surfaces and technique of debridement after operation. Microbiological tests were also performed before and after debridement.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In the paper, its authors draw attention to the short time of debridement. The application of a water jet allows precise debridement, particularly in hardly accessible places, preparation of wounds to be covered with autologous split thickness skin graft, protection of healthy tissues.
