Efforts to maintain the integrity of viable tissues include avoiding tight dressings, use of antimicrobial cream, and keeping the wound bed moist. Separate strips of non-adherent moist dressings can be wrapped around the burned areas to avoid circulatory impairment, reduce bacterial growth, and maintain wound bed moisture (avoid scabbing) until patients can be surgically treated [100102]. These treatments are meant to support debridement and surgical removal, which should be prioritized for most patients. In cases where early excision cannot be performed (e.g., lack of resources), dressings are placed until eschar separation is initiated. While this open technique is still used today in developing countries when no other resources are available, it is not supported in the literature and has been criticized for over 50years [103, 104].
Table 2 summarizes the relative indications for initial excision of dead tissues in burn injury. Additional considerations for eschar removal and grafting of severe facial burn injuries are listed below [105]:
Larger, diffuse areas of dead tissue have been sufficiently treated with debridement/excision Stable patients with confirmed diagnosis of deep facial burns Presence of useable donor skin for grafting Patient is clear of severe infections

4.3 Non-melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC)
The presentation of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) varies depending on the epidermal layer from which the neoplasm originates. As shown in Fig.
10, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can develop in any layer of the
epidermis superficial to the basal cells. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) develops from basal cells at the epidermal-dermal junction. Patients generally complain of recently developed or altered superficial skin lesions, which should trigger a thorough full-body skin examination [106, 107].

Fig. 10 SCC and BCC are shown in a cross-section of the skin at their site of origin [108]
There are several BCC variants, including superficial, morphea-like, and nodular, the latter of which is most common. Of these variants, morphea-like BCC is more likely to incur extensive destruction of the underlying and adjacent tissues [109112].
Figures 11, 12 and 13 show common variants of BCC, highlighting the differences between nodular, superficial, and morpheaform subtypes. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are usually detected upon observation of expanding crust forming or keratinized (scaly) lesions that do not heal over time. These lesions can take on a varied appearance, which is shown in the images of documented SCC cases (Figs. 14, 15 and 16) [114116].

Lesion borders may be well determined (Fig. 14) or hard to differentiate from the surrounding skin (Fig. 15). Keratoacanthomas are an easily identified variant of SCCs, marked by their domed nodular shape and central zone of hyperkeratosis (Fig. 16).
Any suspicious lesions should be further assessed with detailed imaging and/or biopsy sampling, usually performed by a dermatologist. Dermatoscopes are handheld tools which illuminate and magnify observed skin and are well utilized in the hands of trained providers to assess the surface and sub-surface structures. Classification of lesions is improved with use of dermoscopy, allowing for improved risk stratification and targeted treatment indications. Biopsy is performed to assess the histologic subtype and provide additional confirmation for the diagnosis [117].
There are various factors which determine the relative risk of metastasis and reoccurrence for NMSCs. Increased risk has been indicated in neoplasms which originate on the “H zone,” defined by Swanson as the region of the face containing the scalp, forehead, periocular area, auricular area, cheek, nose, and upper lip [118]. Lesions with a diameter greater than 2 cm has been associated with increased reoccurrence and risk of metastasis [119]. Additional factors to consider include tumor thickness, differentiation, histologic subtype, lymphovascular/perineural invasion, and
https://t.me/medicina_free
integrity of the patient’s immune system, which are well detailed by Akcam et. al. [120].
Extensive invasion of NMSCs has been studied by Batra and Kelley [121], who summarize the risk factors of these neoplasms based on a study of previous cases. The predicted subclinical spread indicates the surgical excision approach. Generally, invasive NMSCs tend to follow the patterns listed as follows [122]:
Preoperative size <10 mm Male patients: recurrent BCC and/or neck location Basosquamous, nodular, morpheaform, or recurrent subtypes originating on the nose Morpheaform BCC originating on the cheek Neoplasms originating on the eyelid, helix (ear), or temple
For the purposes of this section, the techniques are listed in Table 3 with their relative indications and timing of reconstruction [120].
Table 3 Excision techniques for removal of skin cancer [120]
Technique Indications Timing of reconstruction
Surgical excision with standard margin
Well-defined margins, low-risk neoplasms
Simultaneous, limited to uncomplicated reconstructions
Surgical excision with frozen section
Poorly defined margins, recurrent lesions, locations more greatly impaired aesthetically with tissue removal, infiltrative growth
Simultaneous, allows for complicated reconstruction
Surgical excision with delayed repair
Maintenance of maximal healthy tissue indicated for aesthetic/functional purposes
Reconstruction with flaps/grafts performed after tumor-free margins are confirmed with histology, best for complicated reconstruction
Mohs micrographic technique
High-risk NMSC, immunosuppressed patients
Simultaneous, best for complicated reconstruction
5 Application of Surgical Techniques
5.1 Surgical Planning
https://t.me/medicina_free
Craniofacial reconstruction may be relatively straightforward, such as in the cases of isolated uncomplicated fracture or deep wounds, although there are more complex cases which require additional planning. Three-dimensional reconstructions of CT imaging can be helpful in surgical planning, notably with free osseous tissue transfers, design of implants or plates, and creation of preoperative cutting guides. When patients present with orbital or periorbital fractures, real-time image-guided surgery using intraoperative CT can help to confirm structural integrity and avoid severe complications [123, 124].
Due to the high vascularity of the face and neck region, microvascular free tissue transfers have a very high survival rate and are well utilized in repair of soft tissue deformity or loss. As a result of this high success rate, the lower minimal approaches on the reconstructive ladder may be bypassed with soft-tissue facial reconstruction. Patients with severe facial injury may require multiple free tissue transfers, which can be performed in a single operation or completed with subsequent surgical reconstruction [125].
After adequate imaging has been obtained, including angiography (suspected vascular damage) and MRI (detection of ocular injury or foreign bodies), the surgical planning will proceed with the most urgent conditions treated first. As previously stated in Sect. 3.1, any patients with life­threatening injuries that are not a direct result of facial fractures should be stabilized prior to craniofacial reconstruction.
5.2 Soft Tissue Reconstruction
Techniques used to reconstruct the soft tissues of the face vary based on the facial subunits damaged by the injury. Various reparative strategies will be further discussed specific to each respective facial component.
The repair technique of soft tissue injuries on the scalp and/or forehead is determined by the depth of injury and estimated tissue loss. Full­thickness wounds less than 2–3 cm in diameter are indicated for primary layered closure with galeal, subcutaneous, and cutaneous sutures. When necessary, galeal scoring and undermining with blunt dissection can improve coverage [Cite chapter “Aesthetic Surgery of the Upper Face and
Cheeks”, Sect. 2].
Patients who present with tissue loss with an area less than 25 cm2 on the scalp or forehead may undergo repair with a pinwheel flap, which
https://t.me/medicina_free
involves the creation of 2–4 full-thickness axial rotation flaps that are repositioned to close the defect. In some cases, tissue loss in the forehead region is better repaired with an island pedicle flap transferred from the occipital region or medially transposed bilateral advancement flaps to allow for eyebrow continuity after reconstruction. Large tissue losses from the
scalp (>25 cm2) may also be repaired using full-thickness axial rotation or advancement flaps containing hair-bearing tissue. Tissue expansion is an additional technique which stretches nearby cutaneous tissues using air­filled subcutaneous expanders [126128].
Midfacial lacerations are considerably more complex, as they tend to involve structures such as the eyelids or nose. Changes to the appearance of these structures can have a large impact on the overall facial aesthetics. The repair of these lacerations has been tailored to these areas, and various reparative strategies are detailed in Table 4 (Fig. 17).
