Patient: description of the condition (onset time, main symptoms, hospital, etc.): my child is 8 months old when scalded the entire top of the foot, at that time nothing serious, but later by a relative’s prescription, let in the child’s foot surface of the affected area sprinkled with lye, lye in the foot to stay for about 1 hour, go to the Armed Forces Hospital Burns Department after the doctor let washed off immediately. Formed a deep 2 degrees chemical burns. The capillaries under the skin were burned, the epidermis healed in nearly 3 months, and a large nodule was formed on the surface of the foot, and the 3 and 4 fingers were pulled up. 3 fingers were a little deformed to the touch. He is now 3.5 years old and has been rubbing and pressing the injured area for a long time, but there is no improvement. When wearing shoes, it is obvious that the injured foot is higher. The child has already understood. I want to treat him in time, and I don’t want to miss the best time to treat him, so I would like to ask Director Xie: 1. what treatment should we do now. 2. do we need to be hospitalized if we go to see you now, how many days do we need to stay in the hospital, and how much do we need to spend? 3. how long will it take for my child to go to kindergarten after I come back from the hospital? Please answer these questions so that I can prepare in advance. Xie Songtao, Department of Burns, Xijing Hospital: 1. Full-thickness or medium-thickness skin grafting is not technically difficult, and local hospitals can do it. 2. 2. 7-10 days of hospitalization in our department, about 12000 cost. 3. Postoperative anti-scarring treatment takes about 1 year. As for walking, 1 month is enough. 4. Most specialists have the same opinion, so there is no need to ask around and take the time to treat. Patient: Non-productive feeling Thank you, Director, for your sincere and detailed answer! Sorry to bother you again, I hope you don’t mind! Today I went to our local armed police hospital burns department their director is the same opinion, said from the abdomen to go to the full-thickness skin for loose skin grafting. In our local area I’m mainly afraid that the surgery won’t be successful or the implant won’t work well. This director should have almost 20 years of medical experience. Do you think I can go to him? I have dealt with the doctor of the First People’s Hospital, the best hospital in our area, and I am a bit dissatisfied with the late results of his skin grafting, so the burn unit of the Armed Police Hospital is the best place for me to look for him. The child is still small I think if I have the opportunity to be a mother should give him the best treatment, if everyone does the same thing the results are similar if I choose the nearest hospital, so it will be more convenient. I just don’t know much about these aspects of surgery, so I’ll just have to trouble you experts! Do you think I can have the surgery at this Armed Forces Hospital? (This hospital is not large, there are more than 50 staff ) Xijing Hospital burns Xie Songtao: I think you can Patient: Thank you.
