Abstract

Society for Wound Care and Research (SWCR) was founded with the aim of promoting
practice of better wound care and research. The society carries out academic, clinical, research
and social activities in a calculated manner aimed at improving wound healing. SWCR guidelines
has four components with the acronym SWCR where S stands for systematic analysis of patient
and wound, W for wound bed preparation, C for clinical decisions and R for repair, reconstruct &
rehabilitate. Electrical burn wound to the scalp which causing the deep thermal burns may cause
injury to all layers of scalp including bone which can create a raw area of the scalp with exposed
skull bone which is difficult to reconstruct as the bone was exposed without periosteum. The
bone without periosteum will not usually granulate. In our case we used regenerative techniques
for exposed bone in scalp wound bed preparation for granulation followed by flap cover. We will
discuss about the role of SWCR guidelines in the management of scalp electrical burn.
