| description | 【Abstract】 Objective: To analyze the management
of high-voltage electrical burn injury of the scalp in our
hospital.
Methods: This study involved 10 patients who suf-fered from high-voltage electrical burn injury of the scalp.
Scalp reconstruction was done by different modalities ac-cording to the size and location of the defect.
Results: Complete flap viability was achieved in all the
cases. We had one case of gapped wound which was managed
only by dressing. Widening of the scar was found in 2 cases.
Conclusion: Rotation, advancement and transposi-tion scalp flaps are used for reconstructing scalp defects
caused by electrical burn. The choice of ideal flaps for re-construction depends upon the size and site of scalp defect.
