  • Title: Abdominoplasty as an adjunct to the management of peri-Caesarian section necrotising fasciitis.
    Author: Schumacher H, Tehrani H, Irwin MS, Malata CM.
    Journal: J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg; 2008 Jul; 61(7):807-10. PubMed ID: 17507305.
    Abstract:
    Necrotising fasciitis is a rare but potentially lethal condition, often requiring extensive soft tissue debridement and complex reconstructive surgery. The disease has been noted to complicate Caesarian section wounds, and our department has recently managed three such patients. They all required extensive abdominal wall debridements which would traditionally be closed initially by split skin grafting. We report on the clinical course of three patients, two of whom had their defects closed successfully by abdominoplasty without recourse to initial skin grafting.
