“…The second approach is bringing new vascularized tissue in the field by local or free flaps. [2][3][4][5] We prefer early excision of the full-thickness burned skin and nonviable underlying soft tissue and multiple aggressive debridement of dead bone to be performed by drilling burr holes and/or osteotomies of the outer table of the cortex. Viable bone is identified by normal color and free bleeding from nutrient vessels, allowing granulation tissue to form.…”

Deep burns of the scalp and skull are often caused by high voltage electrical injuries. In an early stage, protection and preservation of the skull is important. Covering the wound with a full-circulatory skin flap or a myocutaneous free flap is a reasonable selection, but is not our first choice. In our experience, preliminary use of glycerol-preserved allograft wound dressing significantly improved the development of granulation tissue to perform an autograft at a later stage. With these allografts, there is a significantly shortened healing time compared with the results found in the literature.
