  • Title: Scalp and skull reconstruction after electrical burn.
    Author: Caffee HH.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1980 Jan; 20(1):87-9. PubMed ID: 6985974.
    Abstract:
    A case of electrical injury in a 21-year-old woman with loss of scalp and skull is presented. The recommended method of reconstruction is transposition of the omentum with vascular anastomosis and skin grafts to cover the omentum. The patient was operated on 15 months postinjury because of painful ulcerations in a previous skin graft, and an uneventful recovery followed. She began wearing a wig 8 weeks after reconstruction.
