| description | •Burn reconstructive procedure types before and after ablative fractional CO2 laser introduction.•Significant reduction in conventional and complex reconstructive operations.•Significant reduction in anaesthetic times following ablative fractional CO2 laser implementation.•Significant reduction in hospital admissions and hospital length of stay following ablative fractional laser introduction.
Reconstructive surgery remains the main approach to address burn scar contractures. Ablative fractional resurfacing is an increasingly popular tool for severe burn scar management, but its effect on overall burns reconstructive case-mix, operating time and patterns of hospital admission have not been reported.
Retrospective analysis of hospital administrative data from September 2013 to June 2017 was performed evaluating these effects of ablative fractional CO2 laser (CO2-AFL).
The total number of acute burn patients treated at CRGH increased substantially over this timeframe, resulting in 412 elective procedures including 82 before and 330 after introducing CO2-AFL. The proportion of traditional non-laser reconstructive procedures dropped considerably to 23.9% in about 2.5 years following CO2-AFL introduction. This change in approach had a profound effect on LOS with average LOS being 1.96days for non-laser and 0.36days for CO2-AFL-procedures (p |

Reconstructive surgery remains the main approach to address burn scar contractures. Ablative fractional resurfacing is an increasingly popular tool for severe burn scar management, but its effect on overall burns reconstructive case-mix, operating time and patterns of hospital admission have not been reported.
Retrospective analysis of hospital administrative data from September 2013 to June 2017 was performed evaluating these effects of ablative fractional CO2 laser (CO2-AFL).
The total number of acute burn patients treated at CRGH increased substantially over this timeframe, resulting in 412 elective procedures including 82 before and 330 after introducing CO2-AFL. The proportion of traditional non-laser reconstructive procedures dropped considerably to 23.9% in about 2.5 years following CO2-AFL introduction. This change in approach had a profound effect on LOS with average LOS being 1.96days for non-laser and 0.36days for CO2-AFL-procedures (p<0.001). Anaesthetic times also decreased significantly, with median durations at 90min pre-laser and 64min post-laser introduction (p<0.001), and median anaesthetic times at 87min (non-AFL) and 57min (AFL procedures) (p<0.001).
AFL profoundly affects elective reconstructive burn case mix with a replacement of conventional reconstructive operations in favour of AFL-procedures. This results in reductions of average LOS and anaesthetic times. Consequently, increased use of AFL in burn scar management could potentially reduce overall costs associated with burn scar reconstruction.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0305-4179</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1879-1409</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2019.01.004</identifier><identifier>PMID: 31848087</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Netherlands: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Ablative fractional CO2 laser ; Ablative fractional resurfacing ; Complex reconstructive procedures ; Hospital length of stay ; Reconstructive burn surgery ; Severe burn scars</subject><ispartof>Burns, 2020-02, Vol.46 (1), p.65-74</ispartof><rights>2019 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI</rights><rights>Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI.
