Early use of microvascular free tissue transfer in the management of electrical injuries

Abstract High-tension electricity can cause devastating injuries which may result in major soft-tissue loss, limb loss and sometimes major threat to life. Deep structures may be exposed and require flap cover, but microvascular flap transfer in electrical burn has a comparatively high-failure rate....
