@ColinLinke But you’re right, logistically a single aggressive debridement seems more efficient upfront. But balanced against closing some skin-sparing incisions vs. having to graft or send someone home with months of wet-to-drys, repeat judicious debridement is worth it.

@ColinLinke In my mind, a short-interval second look should be standard for all NSTIs. That ensures adequate source control without putting pressure on the first debridement to be too aggressive. Give borderline perfused tissue a chance to prove viability on ABX.

@ColinLinke A few extra cm typically isn't the issue, it's the radical debridements that leave huge defects to reconstruct. But to play devil's advocate to your devil's advocate, in what other disease process do we take more margin than we need to just because.

@_KochDoc I will play devil’s advocate. Say I take 4cm too much skin… the end result?

@mohanspeaks Love honey-based dressings for wound breakdown after reconstruction, but for NSTIs it is necessary to remove necrotic tissue emergently in the OR. Debridement should spare viable skin, but still needs to happen and is life saving. This paper is for chronic wounds not NSTI.

@_KochDoc That's what we do. Add gauze soaked in honey as dressing - the necrotic material comes off rapidly, and is replaced by rich granulation. It is incredible...
