Necrotizing Fasciitis Case Study
The treatment for necrotising soft tissue infection involves the principles of treatment for any kind of surgical infection: source control, broad spectrum antimicrobial therapy, support, and monitoring .Once the diagnosis of necrotising fasciitis is suspected, immediate aggressive and thorough surgical debridement should be done.The goal of surgical intervention is to remove all necrotic tissue and achieve hemostasis. The wounds are incised and drained.The incisions are made parallel through the discoloured skin down to the fascia parallel to the cutaneous nerves and blood vessels.In necrotising fasciitis the grey necrotic fascia is identified and confirmed by the ease of blunt dissection.The tissue is excised for frozen sections or definitive histology and
