Resumen

COLLADO HERNANDEZ, Carlos Manuel; LORENTE GIL, Sergio Ramón; PEREZ SUAREZ, Francisco Andrés  y  PEREZ NUNEZ, Vivian. Scalp Reconstruction after High-Voltage Electric Burn. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2018, vol.57, n.3 ISSN 1561-2945.

Scalp burns are rare. When they occur, they are usually caused by high electrical voltage. The scalp reconstruction for defects caused by electrical burns is difficult, partly because of the defect area and the lack of certain resources. A technique was performed, with minimal sequelae. A 35-year-old male patient is presented with injuries due to high-voltage electricity burns, at the emergency room for caumatology attention. He received the corresponding surgical medical treatment, skin grafts, amputation of the distal third of the right foot and the fourth and fifth fingers of the left foot. Thus pending to solve the tissue defect at the level of the scalp. A flap rotation was performed, based on which almost the entire defect was covered, completing a small area with skin homograft. An adequate aesthetic result was achieved for the patient and with a high level of satisfaction.

Palabras clave : reconstructive surgery; flap; electric burns.
