Abstract
Nearly 30 years ago, in 1962, the Department of Plastic Surgery and Burns Therapy was created in what was then known as the Ospedali Riuniti di Napoli.

Subsequently, the simultaneous creation of the Division of Plastic Surgery (i.e. without ‘burns therapy’) and of numerous resuscitation and intensive-care centres affected the passage through these centres of patients requiring resuscitatory treatment.
