“…77 Similar results were observed by Lemsanni et al with wound preparation with NPWT and subsequent skin grafting. 78 The use of STSGs and full-thickness skin grafting for extremity wound reconstruction was also described by La Padula et al In their case series, only one flap (dorsal metacarpal artery flap) was performed in a secondary procedure for interphalangeal joint resurfacing. 79 Positive outcomes of skin grafting and NPWT for lower extremity NF have also been reported.…”

Therefore, a delay in wound closure increases the risk of bacterial colonization, invasion, and septicemia instauration leading patients to a life-threatening conditions [6,7].…”

“…1 Strong signs of NF, such as pain out of proportion, notable skin involvement, rapid progression of lesions, and hemodynamic instability, should lead to an elevated level of suspicion for the diagnosis of NSTI. 1,2 Necrotizing fasciitis is a true surgical emergency; when left untreated, it can lead to substantial mortality rates. 3 Treatment involves a multimodal approach with aggressive fluid resuscitation, proper antibiotic therapy, and urgent surgical debridement.…”
