T2  - Treatment of Scars From Burns and Trauma
AB  - Surgical  scar  revision  is  typically  performed  to  blend,  recontour,  and/or  reposition  the  scar.  Appropriate  tools,  including  the  best-adapted  suture  and  surgical  instruments,  should  be  available.  Specific  strategies  may  include  dermabrasion,  scar  repositioning,  single  or  multiple  Z-plasty,  W-plasty,  fusiform  or  serial  excision,  and  geometric  broken  line  closure.  Postoperative  care  is  meticulous,  with  any  bleeding  and  infection  addressed  promptly,  and  significant  contour  abnormalities  corrected  as  soon  as  possible.
