Conclusion

NF following Soave procedure in HD is extremely uncommon. Early diagnosis, prompt aggressive medical therapy, and widespread debridement of devitalized tissues are the keys for the management of this potentially fatal disease. Also, VAC therapy is a supplemental treatment in the management of wounds associated with the high risk of severe infection as NF.
