Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare yet alarming condition faced by a maxillofacial surgeon. This article
would emphasize the importance of early aggressive surgical management with triple antibiotic regimen of
penicillinase-resistant penicillin, aminoglycoside and metronidazole in the successful management of NF.
We would also like the emphasize the importance of 1% hydrogen Peroxide + Saline + Betadine followed
by copius irrigation with Betadine+Saline + Metronidazole in NF along with a negative pressure drain to
manage NF effectively.
