Abstract
Introduction: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an infection of the soft tissues (skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia) that implies a rapidly and progressive evolution. In general, the treatment consists of stabilizing the patient, as well as the use of antibiotics that cover the most common agents, however, in most cases this is not useful without definitive management that consists of cleaning and surgical debridement. In addition to surgical lavage, adjunctive measures are often used in the treatment of complex wounds, such as vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) systems, also known as microdeformation wound therapy (MDWT) or negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Objective: The objective is to present a successful case in the treatment of necrotizing fasciitis by negative pressure therapy with subsequent placement of grafts.
