    Abstract
  •   Objective  To explore the treatment methods and clinical efficacy of penetrating high-voltage electric burns to thoracoabdominal wall.  Methods  This study was a retrospective observational study. From March 2020 to March 2023, six male patients with penetrating high-voltage electric burns to thoracoabdominal wall who met the inclusion criteria were hospitalized at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, aged 42 to 57 years. Among them, one patient had thoracoabdominal wall defects with perforation and necrosis of the gastric wall and diaphragm, two patients had thoracoabdominal wall defects with perforation and necrosis of the gastric wall alone, and three patients had abdominal wall defects with perforation and necrosis of the small intestine. In the emergency department, aesthetic plastic and burn surgery, general surgery, and/or thoracic surgery doctors jointly formulated an emergency surgery plan for the patients. Three patients with perforation and necrosis of the gastric wall underwent subtotal gastrectomy and anastomosis. One of them, who also had diaphragmatic perforation and necrosis, underwent resection of the necrotic diaphragm and repair. The other three patients with perforation and necrosis of the small intestine underwent resection and anastomosis of the necrotic intestinal segment. After debriding the thoracoabdominal wall wounds conservatively in stage Ⅰ and repairing the abdominal wall defects with greater omentum coverage, the thoracoabdominal wall wounds were treated with vacuum sealing drainage (VSD). Seven days later, a stage Ⅱ thorough debridement of the thoracoabdominal wall wounds was performed, and bovine acellular dermal matrix was transplanted onto the surface of the greater omentum and the surrounding skin wounds without skin coverage, and the VSD treatment of the thoracoabdominal wall wounds was continued. After 7 days, the VSD treatment was stopped, and after the fresh granulation tissue well developed in the wounds, a stage Ⅲ transplantation of meshed split-thickness skin graft from the lateral femur was performed to close the thoracoabdominal wall wounds, followed by continuing VSD treatment for another 7 days. Data were recorded including the status of patients' enteral nutrition recovery and occurrence of complications such as abdominal infection after stage Ⅰ surgery, the time from starting moist dressing change to the wound being ready for skin grafting after stage Ⅱ surgery, the microbiological culture of wound exudate samples and conditions of wound surrounding areas from starting moist dressing change to wound healing after stage Ⅱ surgery, skin graft survival, and wound healing time. Follow-up was carried out to observe the occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms, abdominal wall hernia, scars, and functional disorders, etc.  Results  All six patients resumed enteral nutrition on day 2 to 4 after stage Ⅰ surgery, with no occurrence of intestinal obstruction, anastomotic leakage, or abdominal infection. The time from starting moist dressing change to the wound being ready for skin grafting after stage Ⅱ surgery was 8 (6, 12) days. During the period from starting moist dressing change to wound healing after stage Ⅱ surgery, microbiological culture of wound exudate sample showed Enterobacter cloacae in one patient and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in another patient, while the remaining four patients had negative cultures; no patient developed wound edge inflammation. All grafted skin survived, and the wound healing time was 38 (30, 46) days. During follow-up from 12 to 36 months after stage Ⅲ surgery, patients had no intractable constipation or intestinal obstruction symptoms, no obvious local tissue herniation requiring surgical treatment, no scar ulceration, and no functional disorders.  Conclusions  For penetrating high-voltage electric burns to thoracoabdominal wall, a sequential three-stage surgical treatment plan under a multidisciplinary team collaboration model can effectively protect organ function and control wound infection. Long-term follow-up shows good gastrointestinal function and thoracoabdominal wall appearance. This method is highly reproducible and effective, which is suitable for clinical promotion and use.
