Deep dermal partial-thickness scalds remain one of the most common types of injuries in childhood. Local treatment of those wounds, alternatively described as IIb degree, is still very controversial. Some authors advise conservative treatment of such wounds, pointing to their ability to self-reepithelialise, which is possible but significantly prolonged. Other investigators postulate operative treatment, i.e., tangential necrectomy and split-thickness autologous skin grafting, which may shorten the time of wound healing. Arguments call for contra-arguments, and the problem still seems to be unresolved. There is indeed a lack of acceptable standardisation of the local treatment for deep dermal partial-thickness scalds in the paediatric population. The results of both conservative and operative treatment of 114 children aged between 3 months and 17 years, treated for deep dermal partial-thickness scalds from 1997 to 2004 are presented. The treatment of five groups of patients, divided into groups based on the extent of their burn wounds, is evaluated. The patients were treated by tangential necrectomy and skin grafting, mechanical dermabrasion, Granuflex(R) (Convatec) hydrocolloid dressings, Iruxol Mono(R) (Knoll) enzymatic dressings, or Aquacel Ag(R) (Convatec) hydrofibre dressings with silver ions. A number of parameters of wound healing were analysed. The results of this paper encouraged us to present and discuss a proposition for the standardisation of local treatment of deep dermal partial-thickness burn wounds in the paediatric population, according to the extent of injury.
