title: [Plastic-surgical treatment options in necrotising fasciitis].
abstract: Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is considered a rare and possibly life-threatening infection of the subcutaneous tissue and of the fascia. A specific characteristic is the rapid progress of the disease associated with considerable local pain. Since laboratory parameters as well as imaging are only unspecific, diagnosis is set up clinically. Even in the case of a serious suspicion, an immediate and radical debridement has to be initiated, accompanied by intensive care and adequate antibiotic treatment. Only after stabilisation of the general physical condition and local - sometimes extensive - wound debridement, can coverage and reconstruction of soft tissue defects be appropriately performed by the measures and procedures of plastic surgery.
