Giant VAC in a patient with extensive necrotizing fasciitis.

The authors present a case of an extensive fulminant necrotizing fasciitis of the left flank, thigh, and lower parts of the leg treated with debridement, split-thickness skin grafting, and a giant negative pressure wound dressing covering 0.53 m( 2) or 18% of the body surface. To the authors' knowledge, this is the largest split-thickness grafted body surface successfully treated with negative pressure wound dressing documented in the literature.
