Progression of cellulitis presenting with the following signs and symptoms requires urgent surgical evaluation: rapid progression, circumferential cellulitis, crepitus, worsening bullae, pain inconsistent with examination findings, or other signs indicative of necrotizing fasciitis. Necrotic skin requires debridement to allow healthy granulation tissue growth and promote healing. Necrotizing fasciitis is a surgical emergency necessitating early debridement for favorable outcomes.The presence of an abscess requires incision and drainage for adequate treatment.

Overview

Progression of cellulitis presenting with the following signs and symptoms requires urgent surgical evaluation: rapid progression, circumferential cellulitis, crepitus, worsening bullae, pain inconsistent with examination findings, or other signs indicative of necrotizing fasciitis. Necrotic skin requires debridement to allow healthy granulation tissue growth and promote healing. Necrotizing fasciitis is a surgical emergency necessitating early debridement for favorable outcomes.The presence of an abscess requires incision and drainage for adequate treatment.

Indications

  • Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
    • Rapid progression,
    • Circumferential cellulitis,
    • Crepitus, worsening bullae,
    • Pain inconsistent with examination findings,
    • Other signs indicative of necrotizing fasciitis.[1] [2] [3]
