Abstract
Electrical burns are among the most severe and complex injuries, often resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. This study aims to analyze the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of electrical burns through a retrospective review of 20 cases treated at the Plastic Surgery and Burns Unit of Marrakech University Hospital between January 2020 and April 2022. The findings highlight the predominance of work-related accidents, the severity of tissue damage, and the challenges in management, including high rates of amputations and disabling sequelae. Prevention through stringent safety measures and public education is emphasized as the cornerstone of reducing the incidence and impact of electrical burns.
