40 patients suffering from electrical injuries were rehabilitated using a new system of urgent conservative debridement and flap coverage in the period from October 1984 to July 1988. For this purpose, a 1-4 year follow-up was needed. Good appearance and functions of the extremities or organs were obtained and the amputation rate was lower (7.5%) than that used in patients treated with traditionally conservative methods (47.7% in the same hospital.
