The society for Wound Care and Research (SWCR) was founded with the aim of promoting the 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 have 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, reconstruction & rehabilitation. Electrical burn wounds to the scalp which cause deep thermal burns may cause injury to all layers of the 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. Then 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 the role of SWCR guidelines in the management of scalp electrical burns.
