title: Early and successful enzymatıc debridement via collagenase application to pinna in a preterm neonate.
abstract: We report early and successful enzymatic debridement using collagenase application to pinna in a preterm neonate. Collagenase clostridiopeptidase A should be kept in mind not only for the removal of eschar but also for avoidance of the progression of necrotic tissue in neonates.
