A member asked:
Are skin grafts effective after necrotising facsiitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Skin grafting is often necessary to cover the defects created after removing the necrotic skin caused by this type of infection. The infection must be under control and the tissue to which one wishes to graft must be properly prepared.
