'''Burn wound debridement''' is a surgical procedure performed for the management of burn injuries. While epidermal burns typically only require supportive therapy, deeper burns often require surgical intervention. Most deep partial thickness burns are best managed by excising the burnt tissue and grafting skin. Full-thickness burns >1cm<sup>2</sup> will almost always require require excision and grafting<ref>{{Cite journal\|last=Wang\|first=Cynthia\|date=2014-07-17\|title=Management of Burns and Anesthetic Implications\|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7121311/\|journal=Anesthesia for Trauma\|pages=291–319\|doi=10.1007/978-1-4939-0909-4_14\|pmc=7121311}}</ref>.
