Successful Salvage of Large Gluteal Abscess with Necrotising Fasciitis Spanning Gluteal to Mid Leg Region
Abstract
A 40-year-old female with diabetes presented with left gluteal abscess and massive ulcer extending from the gluteal region to mid-leg, complicated by necrotizing fasciitis. She underwent multiple surgical debridements, aggressive supportive management, long duration of antibiotics, glycemic control, and subsequent secondary wound closure- including split-skin grafting. This staged care enabled wound healing and limb salvage.
