Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incision of necrotic tissue resulting from a severe burn is called escharotomy. Escharotomy is a surgical procedure that involves making incisions through the eschar (dead tissue) to relieve pressure and prevent further tissue damage. This allows better blood flow and helps in healing the burn wound. Necrosis refers to the death of living tissue, dermatoplasty is a surgical procedure for skin repair or reconstruction, and débridement is the removal of damaged or dead tissue from a wound.
