Significant Mortality

Necrotising fasciitis is a fulminant, rapidly progressive infection associated with extensive tissue destruction and significant mortality. Given the robust blood supply of the face, periorbital necrotising fasciitis is rare in this region. Traditional management consists of prompt initiation of antibiotics and adequate surgical debridement. This report documents the outcome of Type 2 periorbital necrotising fasciitis in a 49-year-old, immunocompetent man, in whom negative pressure wound therapy, was combined with conventional measures. The negative pressure wound therapy was applied directly to the involved orbit, suggesting its safety and efficacy in relation to use over the orbit. Negative pressure wound therapy may be a useful adjunct to the armamentarium of the oculoplastic surgeon for the reconstruction of periorbital defects produced by the surgical debridement of periorbital necrotising fasciitis.

Degloving Injuries

Major pretibial degloving injuries are complex wounds, which can be challenging to treat. Despite recent advances in reconstructive options, most of these injuries still require a prolonged healing period and may result in amputation. Few reports have been published on the management of these complex traumatic injuries. In this article, we present a case of an octogenarian, frail patient with a major pretibial degloving injury. Treatment included serial surgical debridements in combination with negative pressure wound therapy aimed at salvaging the avulsed tissue. Subsequently, a fenestrated-type artificial dermis and negative pressure wound therapy were used as combined therapy so as to obtain adequate soft tissue coverage. The patient made an unremarkable recovery and was discharged on day 22 after injury. The wound healed by secondary intention without need for skin grafting.

NPWT, also known as topical negative-pressure wound therapy, is widely used in managing and accelerating wound healing. However in wounds were slough is highly represented NPWT efficiency is low. In the patients included in this study clinical health conditions were precarious. We needed a rapid wound healing to not further compromise their health condition. So we added curity dressing to resolve the slough issue. In all the patients we observed slough reduction. This treatment provided beneficial for the patient, the surgeons and the National Health Service. Accelerating wound healing reduced hospitalization and thereby the patients achieved a reduction of risks of nosocomial infections and physical and psychological diseases.
