Burn Surgery & Reconstruction in Dera Ismail Khan
Recovering from a burn injury is rarely just physical. It’s function you’ve lost, confidence that’s been shaken, and a body that doesn’t feel like yours anymore. Burn reconstruction surgery at Dr. Zohaib Hassan’s clinic is built to address all three — restoring movement and appearance while treating patients with the patience and care that this kind of recovery demands.
Understanding Burn Injuries
Burns are classified by depth and severity — first-degree affecting only the surface, second-degree reaching deeper skin layers, and third-degree (or beyond) damaging tissue, muscle, or nerves. The treatment path depends heavily on this classification, along with the size of the affected area and how the wound has healed or scarred over time. Some patients come in during early recovery; others arrive years later dealing with contractures or scarring that limits movement.
Reconstructive Techniques We Offer
1) Scar Revision Surgery
Reduces the appearance of thick, raised, or discolored burn scars using excision, grafting, or laser-assisted techniques — chosen based on scar type and location.
2) Skin Grafting
Healthy skin is taken from an unaffected donor site and transplanted to the burn area, replacing damaged tissue and supporting proper healing. Used for deeper burns where the skin can’t regenerate on its own.
3) Contracture Release
Burn scars can tighten skin and underlying tissue, restricting joint movement — especially around hands, elbows, knees, and the neck. This procedure releases that tightness and restores range of motion, often making a real difference in day-to-day function.
4) Flap Reconstruction
For more complex or deep burns, tissue (with its own blood supply) is moved from a healthy area to reconstruct damaged regions — used when grafting alone won’t provide enough structural support.
5) Reconstructive Surgery for Facial & Hand Burns
Given how visible and functionally critical these areas are, facial and hand burns receive focused, detail-oriented reconstructive planning to preserve both appearance and usability.
Dr. Hassan evaluates each case individually — burn recovery is rarely a standard procedure, and treatment plans reflect that.
