Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To sum up the clinical experience in the reparation of burn wounds with different types of skin flaps in patients with severe electrical injury. METHODS: Free skin flap, axile island flap with vascular pedicle and muscular skin flap were employed to repair 64 wounds in 49 cases. RESULTS: Skin flap necrosis happened in 2 cases, congestion and necrosis at the edge of skin flaps in 4 cases, and complete survival of the skin flaps and primary healing of the wounds in the remaining cases. CONCLUSION: Reparation of wounds with proper skin flaps according to the degree of the electrical injury is effective and reliable, which might be beneficial to the prevention of necrobiosis and the infection in deep tissue.
