Selective Early Excision Versus a Conservative Surgical Approach. Management of Deep Burn Injury in a Resource‐Restricted Setting: A Prospective, Observational Study

In a single, low-resource institution, spontaneous eschar separation and delayed skin grafting improved mortality outcomes compared to a triage system providing early excision and subsequent grafting for a group of high-risk patients. Conservative surgical approaches should be considered where resource restrictions prevent early excision and simultaneous closure. Early excision without immediate closure does not provide mortality benefit.
