A Story of Courage and Hope: Overcoming Post-Burn Scars
We are thrilled to share an inspiring story from one of our youngest patients, Master Aryan Kumar (Name Changed). At just 14 years old, Aryan's journey is a testament to his incredible resilience and the expert care of our surgical team.
The Challenge: Post-Burn Hypertrophic Scars
Aryan was admitted to our hospital to receive treatment for post-burn hypertrophic scars. These scars resulted from hot-water scalds he suffered six years ago, located on his right arm, both thighs, and knees. Hypertrophic scars are raised, thickened scars that can cause discomfort, including persistent itching. For years, Aryan had been dealing with this condition, and our primary goal was to improve his quality of life with a lasting solution.
Surgical Procedure
Under the guidance of our skilled plastic surgeon, Dr. Bhagavath Kumar, and anaesthesiologist, Dr. Mujeebur Rahman, Aryan underwent a successful scar excision and closure procedure. This involved carefully removing the scarred tissue and closing the wounds to facilitate better healing. Our team performed multiple excisions on his right arm, groin, thigh, and calf, as well as his left groin and calf. To further manage the scars and help prevent their return, a diluted Kenocort injection was administered into the remaining scarred areas.
Remarkable Recovery
We are pleased to report that Aryan's post-operative period was uneventful, and he made a swift recovery. He was discharged from the hospital just two days after his surgery. This rapid and successful outcome highlights the effectiveness of our advanced surgical techniques and the compassionate care provided by our hospital staff.
Aryan's bravery serves as an inspiration to us all, and his journey shows the vital importance of specialized treatment for burn injuries. We wish him a full and speedy recovery as he continues his healing process. We are proud to have played a part in his journey toward a life free from the discomfort of these scars.
