Abstract

Chest burns, a subset of burn injuries, pose unique challenges in terms of surgical management. This comprehensive review explores the epidemiology, risk factors, complications, and surgical management strategies for chest burns. A deep understanding of these aspects is crucial for healthcare providers to optimize patient outcomes and minimize the long-term consequences of chest burns.
