- Electrical burn injuries can inflict deeper tissue damage than initially observed, particularly in critical areas like the neck, which is important both functionally and aesthetically.
- A case study of a young male with a severe fourth-degree neck burn highlighted a successful single-stage surgery using a pectoralis major myocutaneous flap, which is effective for head and neck reconstructions.
- The reconstruction of the donor site's secondary defect was achieved using a contralateral internal mammary artery perforator flap, leading to good cosmetic results and high patient satisfaction without the need for skin grafts.
