Introduction: Large Soft Tissue Defects from Necrotizing Soft Tissue InfectionsMethods:Widely Meshed Skin Grafting a 4:1 ratio with autologous skin cell suspension and a dermal matrix used simultaneously to lose large soft tissue defects.Results:No additional surgeries required Outcomes were similar to staged procedures Faster time to closureDiscussion: Large soft tissue defects can be closed in one OR visit with the one stage closure method compared to traditional methods of wound closure that require multiple OR visits The wound closure outcomes are similar to those of staged outcomes Faster time to closureReferences:
