title: [The pitfalls of necrotising soft tissue infection: a 'wake-up call' for surgeons].
abstract: Necrotising soft tissue infections require early consultation of an experienced surgeon, regardless of what time of day they occur. Delays in diagnosis and treatment should not occur. Necrotectomy should be skin-sparing when possible. A low threshold for consultation with a tertiary referral center is recommended.
