Discussions so far continue about optimal terms and methods for plastic operations on face and neck after burn injuries that is necessary for reduction the time of medical rehabilitation of burned patients. In the given work authors' view at this problem based on the experience of treatment of more than 800 patients is presented. The expediency of correct timing of plastic operations and features of techniques is proved for achievement of optimal aesthetic and functional results.

Rehabilitation of patients suffering from consequences of burn injury is actual problem in plastic surgery. There is no unified strategy defining optimal terms and stages of treatment, possibility and advisability of simultaneous interventions on different anatomical areas, combination of surgical and conservative treatment while it is necessary for decrease of rehabilitation terms in victims. On basis of twelve-year experience of 1246 patients with consequences of burn injury the authors developed universal algorithm for optimization of surgical treatment, improvement of results and reduction of treatment time.
