UNLABELLED Chemical burn injury meets the criteria of the American Burn Association for treatment at a specialized burn facility. Over a 51-year period, we have treated 276 patients with chemical burn injury including 146 white phosphorus injuries. In this study, we compare incidence, cause and outcome of chemical burn injury over time and review the management of white phosphorus injuries. M...

surgery. It has been found to be a very safe device and the incidence of major complications associated with its use is as low as 1:13,000.
