Treatment of Infected Wounds with Maggot Therapy after Replantation

摘要：

　　Postoperative wound infection is a rare, but major, complication of replantation.Failure to control infection can lead directly to vascular thrombosis and, in turn, to loss of the replanted extremity.The use of maggots for wound debridement has a long history and has been lately re-introduced for treatment of intractable wounds.In this report, the authors present the experience of successful debridement of a severely infected wound after forearm replantation, using maggot therapy.The results and mechanism of maggot therapy are discussed.
