Abstract
Although dermabrasion is widely used to treat various skin diseases and for scar repair, relatively few reports have described its use with burn wounds. As a blunt debridement, eschar dermabrasion has unique advantages. For patients with deep burns, the boundary between active tissue and inactive tissue is unclear. With eschar dermabrasion, necrotic tissue can be removed to the greatest extent with minimal damage. Early use can help patients skip the scab-dissolving period, decrease local and systemic inflammation, reduce postoperative scarring, and significantly reduce the difficulty of early wound care. As a result, the patient's hospitalization costs and pain during treatment are both reduced, and thanks to less scarring, the patient is more likely to engage in social activities and has an improved quality of life.
