Novel techniques in the treatment of skin and soft tissue infection.

Managing complicated skin and soft tissue infections require more than just antibiotic treatment. Soft tissue infection healing is often compromised by underlying comorbidities and pathology and increasingly the presence of highly antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This has been highlighted particularly in war and trauma soft tissue infection. The fundamentals of soft tissue infection repair require early surgical drainage and debridement, correction of compromised physiology and treatment of underlying conditions and appropriate antimicrobial treatment. RO therapy could be an important advance.
