Electrical injury refers to sustained trauma to the skin or internal organs caused by direct contact with an electric current. Progressive necrosis caused by vascular endothelial damage is a defining feature of electrical injuries. Given this endothelial damage, careful attention is required during reconstruction after such injuries. We present a case of upper extremity reconstruction following an ultra-high-voltage electrical injury (275,000 volts), using an abdominal distant flap with planned vascular anastomosis. Many cases of electrical injury require extremities amputation; however, we were able to salvage the upper extremity. Therefore, this reconstruction method can be an effective technique for managing high-voltage electrical injuries.
