Case in brief
Three patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections underwent treatment involving Kerecis and ReCell for reconstruction of extensive full-thickness integumentary defects. The use of Kerecis facilitated the rapid generation of a pliable dermal matrix, while ReCell allowed for a reduction in the size of skin grafts needed. This combined approach aimed to enhance healing and minimize donor-site complications.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
The combination of Kerecis and ReCell may offer an effective strategy for reconstructing defects in necrotizing fasciitis, promoting faster healing and reducing donor-site morbidity.
