* Prompt, aggressive exploration and debridement of patients thought to have deep-seeded pyogenic infection constitutes a surgical emergency. Surgical exploration through a small incision with visualization of the muscle and fascia may provide an early and definitive diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis. Infection often is more extensive than is apparent from external examination. Surgical debridement of infected tissue is extremely important and often requires re-exploration to ensure adequacy of resection.

Early and immediate surgical debridement should be considered in most patients with suspected streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (i.e., those who present with fever, pain, soft-tissue swelling, and/or vesicle and bullae formation).
Aggressive surgical debridement of infected tissue including fascia is imperative and mandatory if a site of potential infection is identified. Repeated and sequential operative and bedside debridements of infected tissue are often needed, particularly if necrotizing fasciitis is present in streptococcal disease. [null <nowiki>[19]</nowiki>]

Overview:

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with toxic shock syndrome(TSS). Surgical debridement is usually reserved for patients with either necrotizing fasciitis(NF), and patients with deep-seeded pyogenic infection. Urgent surgical debridement was recommended for all patients who develop NF earlier, but is under questioning nowadays.

Surgery

Prompt, aggressive, immediate exploration and debridement of patients thought to have deep tissue localized infection was believed to be a surgical emergency [1]. Surgical exploration of the susceptible infected tissue may help with the early and definitive diagnosis of NF. In NF related TSS patients, infection usually is more extensive than is apparent from external examination. Although the necessity of surgical debridement, the recommendation of immediate radical excision of necrotic tissue in patients with streptococcal TSS NF is not supported by clinical studies and should be reconsidered as an emergency treatment in TSS management[2].

Indications

Surgical debridement of body tissues should be considered in these patients:
