Methods： This study involved 10 patients who suf- fered from high-voltage electrical bum 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 bum. The choice of ideal flaps for re- construction depends upon the size and site of scalp defect.展开更多
