Postoperative Synergistic Gangrene

The authors suggest adherence to the fundamental principles of treatment including radical surgical debridement and appropriate antibiosis for necrotizing gangrene after spinal surgery. In evaluation of aggressive spinal wound infections, diagnosis of synergistic necrotizing fasciitis should be kept in mind. Although hyperbaric wound oxygenation was implemented as an adjunct and appeared to aid in controlling the infection, its effect on outcome is not clear.
