“…Burns of the face and neck are a challenge for plastic surgeons because the lack of adequate coverage in this region can lead hypertrophic scars and keloids causing important functional limitations and subsequent disability. Scarring and tissue loss from second-and especially third-degree burns spontaneously healed or covered with skin grafts can usually cause deformities, and more rare are posttraumatic sequelae, or after the surgical excision of tumor [1][2][3][4][5]. Multiple treatment alternatives have been used with variable but limited success (skin grafts, Z-plasties, local and distant flaps) [6][7][8][9].…”

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is a chain-like disaccharide that is linked to a polypeptide core to connect two collagen fibrils/fibers and provide the intermolecular force in a Collagen-GAG matrix which can be a valuable treatment of post-burn contractures and hypertrophic scars, which remain a challenge to reconstructive surgery. The face and neck contractures are the most difficult sites to treat. This article is meant to discuss our clinical experience in using collagen-glycosaminoglycan biodegradable matrix (Integra® Integra Lifesciences Corporation, Plainsboro, NJ, USA) to reconstruct defects created by excision of contracted areas from the neck and lower face areas. Between 2009 and 2011, we had 11 patients that underwent Integra reconstructive procedures. The mean follow-up period was 18 months. For all the patients, the intake of the Integra dermal regeneration template was 100%, even if one patient developed a minor infection treated with appropriate antibiotics. The patients are very satisfied with the result. A minor problem was a small difference in skin color, but this inconvenience was compensated by good skin elasticity.

Introduction. Electrical burns are one of the most common causes of burns besides flame burns and scalds. High tension electrical burns lead to greater morbidity and mortality. Active management strategies are required to manage high tension electrical burns. Common epidemiological features and surgical management of wounds are described. Role of high ligation in high tension electrical burns has been described.Purpose. To describe the epidemiology, main features of the presentation and acute management of high tension electrical burns.Materials and methods. This study was done for the duration of 2 months. All patients who were admitted with high tension electrical burns were included in the study. Patients’ demographics, mode of injury, % age of burn areas involved, entry-exit wounds were recorded on the day of admission. Emergency fasciotomy was done in cases of impending gangrenous changes inlimbs to prevent compartment syndrome and peripheral neuropathy. Reconstructive surgeries were done depending on thelocation and depth of burns. Results. 64% patients were below 30 years. The majority of the patients who sustained electric burns were males (82.3%). All the patients were from low and middle socioeconomic status according to the modified kuppuswamy scale. The majority of patients sustained electric contact burns (55.8%). The majority of the patients were unskilled workers working in the fields (94.2%). Surgical treatment of all patients includes fasciotomies in 15 patients, debridement/ amputation in 32 patients, reconstructive surgeries in 42 patients.Conclusion. High tension electrical burns are one of the most common causes of burns, especially in rural areas. Public awareness and compliance with safety standards as well as respect for the potentially deleterious effects of electricity are of utmost essential for avoiding these deadly injuries.
