What is Necrosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Treatment
Treatment of necrosis also depends largely on what type of necrosis the patient has. In many cases, it is necessary to remove the dead tissue in order to help prevent the necrosis from spreading. In some instances, this can mean amputations of limbs and/or the removal of other bodily tissues.
In addition to dealing with the dead tissue, it is also necessary to get to the root of the problem, otherwise the problem may continue regardless of how much tissue has been removed. No matter what type of necrosis the patient is thought to have, it is important to get a diagnosis as soon as possible so any necessary treatment can be provided.
