Skin graft for abdominal wall reconstruction due to necrotizing fasciitis: A case report

Background: The reconstruction of the abdominal wall, particularly in the context of complex defects, represents an area within plastic and reconstructive surgery that has undergone significant advancements in recent years. The integration of split-thickness skin grafts, free tissue transfer, and mesh-assisted reconstruction has provided surgeons with a versatile and effective toolkit to address a wide range of clinical challenges. In this context, split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) and advanced reconstructive techniques, such as free tissue transfer and mesh-assisted reconstruction, have emerged as fundamental pillars in the armamentarium of the plastic and reconstructive surgeon. These modalities offer versatile solutions for restoring abdominal wall continuity, providing soft tissue coverage, and improving long-term functional and aesthetic outcomes.
