“…During the healing phase, the mainstay of management is stenting and splinting to prevent narrowing, both as patency stents in the nares and angular splints in the commissures of the lips. Sekine et al [39] and Pandey [40] reported some novel methods of stenting the nostrils using self-expandable metallic oesophageal stents and thermoplastic nasal stents. Both devices have the advantage of being self-retaining and expandable.…”

Purpose of review This article reviews literature on the recent progress made on management of facial burns. The discussion focuses on those aspects of the management in which recent studies brought new ideas, and reviews some that failed to change practices in the management of facial burns. Recent findings Recent innovations and models have been proposed in an attempt to reduce the incidence of unnecessary intubations in patients with burns to the face and with suspected inhalational injury. However, the decision to secure the airway is still a challenging one. A new escharotomy method based on facial subunits principles has been described, while the practice of early tangential excision is still debated in the literature. Tarsorrhaphy without occluding the eyes has also been described in the management of peri-oral burns. Self-retaining and expandable stents for the nose have also been demonstrated to be effective in preventing nasal stenosis. 3D printed face masks have been more recently developed to improve the current wound-care methods used in facial scar management. Summary This article highlights recent developments in the management of facial burns in areas such as acute facial burn care, subsequent wound care and facial scar management. It highlights areas wherein progress has been made, as well as the need for further studies in certain areas.

“…Many different internal nasal splints[ 2 3 4 ] have been proposed over time. In similar cases where the nasal valve was affected, we have used a simple, “handmade” internal nasal splint made of X-ray film pieces [Figures 1 and 2 ].…”
