Necrotzing sof tssue infecton (NSTI) is a rare disease that mainly afects individuals with specific risk factors but sometmes afects postpartum women as well. These women have a state of immunosup-pression, which would favor the appearance and more aggressive course of the disease. We report the case of a 20-year-old woman with no pathological history who developed necrotzing fasciits of the abdominal wall as a complicaton of a cesarean secton. An extensive abdominal wall resecton was performed, followed by total histerectomy and bilateral adnexectomy, peritoneal cavity lavage, and temporary abdominal closure with a Bogotá bag. Afer prolonged hospitalizaton in an intensive care unit, the abdominal wall was closed using a polyglactin mesh in contact with the viscera, on which a polypropylene mesh was placed to provide resistance. Negative pressure wound therapy with a Barker´s vacuum pack was started untl the reconstructon of the abdominal wall with autolo-gous skin grafis could be programmed. Then, a V.A.C. ATS ® therapy was used on skin grafis, showing a favorable evoluton. The objective of this scientific leter is to discuss an uncommon complicaton of the cesarean secton, emphasizing the most important aspects of the disease, and defining recommendatons for the mana-gement of this pathology and its multidisciplinary approach.
