Necrotising fasciitis (NF), which can develop in any part of the body, is a serious and life-threatening rapidly progressive infection. In this case report, a case of NF located at a Pfannenstiel incision is presented and the treatment process of the patient is discussed. A 39-year-old primiparous woman who had a diagnosis of superimposed pre-eclampsia was admitted to the emergency department with an eclampsia attack at 32 weeks of her pregnancy. Her medical history included diabetes mellitus and hypertension. An emergency caesarean section was performed. The patient was discharged on the 3rd day of her caesarean section without complications. On the 7th day of discharge, the patient fell in the bathroom. The patient was admitted to the emergency department on the second day of the fall due to foul-smelling discharge and wound dehiscence at the incision site. The patient was referred to the general surgery clinic and underwent emergency surgery by general surgeons with the diagnosis of NF. All necrotic tissues were removed until clean surgical margins were reached. Daily wound debridement was performed. On the 4th day of debridement, vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) treatment was started. After six sessions of VAC treatment, the patient's wound was completely closed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
