Description
Jyotica Chawaria and three co-authors reported in 2023 two cases of large scalp burns rebuilt with thigh skin flaps in India. High-voltage burns leave big scalp wounds that need free skin flaps, ideally with two vein connections for drainage. The handy temple vessels offer only one vein, which risks the flap.
In both cases the team added a vein graft running to the neck veins as the second path. Drainage stayed strong and the flaps survived fully. The reports give other burn centers a workable answer to a common plumbing problem in scalp repair.
