Surgery is often required when burns won't heal on their own, particularly with third-degree and deep second-degree burns. Fortunately for patients along the Gulf Coast, some of the most experienced surgeons are using treatment breakthroughs to help burn patients recover right here at Zen Vibe Health. To help patients heal and regain their quality of life, our surgeons guide them through the most appropriate surgery and help them develop an enhanced recovery pathway. As soon as patients are medically stable and pain is under control, we discharge them to continue their recovery at home. Sometimes, that can happen the same day as surgery.
When our specialists determine that skin substitutes won’t give a patient the best chance for an optimal outcome, Zen Vibe Health burn surgeons may perform skin graft surgery. In this procedure, skin is harvested from another part of the patient’s body and grafted onto the injured area. As with other burn injury treatments, our goal is an enhanced recovery pathway, where patients do almost all of their recovery at home.
