ABSTRACT

Burned patients represent a great challenge for plastic surgeons, the spectrum of injuries ranging from first degree burns, to third degree burns with exposure of noble structures, sometimes requiring radical management. It is necessary that the plastic surgeon have a wide repertoire of options for the reconstruction of the burned patient. We present 4 cases of patients with different degrees of burns, which were managed based on the reconstructive ladder, presenting good results both functional and aesthetic. We concluded that the reconstructive ladder is the principle on which reconstructive surgery should be based, particularly for the management of the burned patient, so the plastic surgeon must have a wide knowledge of the options to solve a problem and assess the risks against the benefits, to offer the best treatment for the burned patient.
