Abstract

Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is a well-known fulminant and disabling soft tissue infection. it can affect any age group, gender and healthy individuals. The toxicity and sepsis that it is capable of inciting is immense and caries high mortality across various authorities. Delay in presentation or identification may lead to increased morbidity manifold. This is one such case with large scale surgical destruction and requiring advanced means of restoration which makes it an interesting read for surgical fraternity.
