Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Scar quality 12 months post-surgery assessed by the observer score of the POSAS scale will be tested for normality before univariate analyses will be performed.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- To demonstrate increased dermal preservation in deep dermal burns after debridement with hydrosurgically versus conventional excision. - To determine the minimal clinical important (MIC) change of the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS).	—
