AbstractExcision and grafting in deep partial and full skin thickness burns of the anterior cervical region in a series of 40 patients treated between 1982 and 1992 is reported. The advantages of surgical management of deep burns in this region in a single staged operation have proved its efficacy compared to the severe sequelae which appear when the standard conservation treatment is used. A comparative study of two groups of patients treated either by early excision and grafting (n = 19/40), or by delayed excision and grafting (n = 21/40) demonstrated the advantages of elective early excision and grafting with respect to: length of hospital care, complications and their severity, and surgical repair.
