Ann Burns Fire Disasters. 2005 Mar 31;18(1):5-10.
The experience is reported of two years' surgical activity carried out in hospitals for civil war victims in Battambang (Cambodia) and in an NGO hospital in Dhaka (Bangladesh) with regard to the treatment of non-acute burn patients. The aim of this report is to demonstrate that work in field hospitals deficient in means and equipment achieves the same results as those usually obtained in western hospitals. Our experience covers the surgical treatment of 200 patients with scars due to fire, acids, and land mines. We mainly treated patients with scars compromising or preventing the normal activity of limbs and extremities, with the aim of restoring correct functionality and an aesthetically satisfactory appearance.
报告了在柬埔寨马德望为内战受害者设立的医院以及孟加拉国达卡的一家非政府组织医院开展的为期两年的非急性烧伤患者治疗外科手术活动。本报告旨在证明,在资源和设备匮乏的野战医院开展的工作能取得与西方医院通常取得的相同成果。我们的经验涵盖了对200例因火灾、酸液和地雷导致疤痕的患者进行外科治疗。我们主要治疗疤痕影响或妨碍四肢正常活动的患者,目的是恢复正确的功能和美观令人满意的外观。
