El éxito en el tratamiento de las infecciones necrotizantes de los tejidos blandos (INTB) depende de la precocidad diagnóstica y de la agresividad terapéutica, basada en el desbridamiento quirúrgico, la antibioticoterapia de amplio espectro y el soporte intensivo. Se presenta un caso de INTB secundaria a diverticulitis aguda perforada (Hinchey 4) con el fin de ilustrar las consideraciones particulares en el manejo de la INTB de localización en la pared abdominal, apoyadas en la evidencia disponible en la literatura científica. Se identifican como puntos clave la precocidad y la agresividad del desbridamiento quirúrgico, la antibioticoterapia dirigida por el cultivo y su suspensión guiada por la negativización microbiológica; y el empleo de técnicas combinadas de autoplastia y prótesis apoyadas en la terapia de presión negativa en la restauración de la pared abdominal, con lo que se ha obtenido un buen resultado.Successful treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) depends on early diagnosis and therapeutical aggressiveness, based on surgical debridement, broad spectrum antibiotics and intensive support. A case of perforated diverticulitis (Hinchey 4)-secondary-NSTI is presented in order to illustrate the particular considerations in the management of abdominal wall located NSTI, supported on the evidence available in scientific literature. Several key points are identified, such as prompt and aggressive surgical debridement; culture-guided antibiotherapy and its suspension based on microbiological negativization; and the utilization of combined techniques of autoplastic repair and replacement, also supported on negative pressure therapy in the abdominal wall restoration, which have shown a good outcome.
