In the past, severe traumatic injuries to the face resulting from shotgun injuries have been managed by primary wound healing followed by little or late reconstruction. This would involve a long period of convalescence by the patient, followed by years of living with his deformity. With recent demands to minimize the patient's suffering and disabilities and to lessen hospitalization costs, a method of immediate reconstruction of such crippling facial injuries using a partially de-epithelialized skin flap has been devised and successfully applied to the patient presented here.
过去，猎枪伤导致的严重面部创伤一直采用一期伤口愈合的方式处理，后续很少或延迟进行重建。这会使患者经历漫长的康复期，之后还要带着畸形生活数年。随着近期要求将患者的痛苦和残疾降至最低并降低住院费用，一种使用部分去上皮化皮瓣立即重建此类严重面部损伤的方法已被设计出来，并成功应用于本文介绍的患者。
