Survival of an 80-Year-Old Male With a Successful Split-Thickness Skin Graft for End-Stage Necrotizing Fasciitis: A Case Report

Herein, we report a case of an 80-year-old male who was diagnosed with a fatal condition known as necrotizing fasciitis. This devastating soft tissue infection can cause profound damage to multiple tissue planes. Despite its etiology being multifactorial, impaired immunity with increasing age weighs in as the most significant. We intend to shed light on its detrimental clinical features and how we managed to treat the patient both conservatively and surgically. Through our case findings and management plan, we hope this case to be of clinical value and knowledge to clinicians to better diagnose and treat the deleterious condition.
