Abstract
Treatment of necrotising fasciitis including systemic antibiotic and radical surgical debridement is often resulting in large wounds that need to be closed using methods such as split-thickness skin grafts, local flaps, or guided tissue regeneration procedures. In this case report, 53 year-old male was diagnosed with necrotising fasciitis and treated surgically. The wound was treated initially with extensive debridement, wound treatment with platelet-rich plasma and finally closing the wound with split-thickness skin grafts. Split-thickness skin grafts can provide fast recovery and functional skin.
