Testimonial by Mrs. Sunita Rai

Post-burn contractures are severe complications of burn injuries, where scar tissue contracts, tightening the skin and limiting movement. This can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, causing pain, discomfort, and functional limitations.

The treatment for this condition involves contracture release and skin grafting to improve range of motion, reduce pain, enhance appearance, and restore function. The procedure aims to restore the ability to move the affected joint or body part, reduce pain, and improve appearance by minimizing the scar’s impact. Contracture release surgery is a surgical procedure that involves releasing tightened scar tissue to restore range of motion. This often involves skin grafting to cover the exposed area, which can be harvested from other parts of the patient’s body, allowing the individual to regain independence and function more effectively in daily activities. The severity of the burn injury, the location of the burn, and the patient’s overall health, age, and other medical conditions are important considerations when planning the surgical procedure.

Mrs. Sunita Rai from Darjeeling successfully underwent Contracture Release & Skin Grafting at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. P. Prakash, Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.
