Necrotic Tissue
Necrotic tissue is a dead tissue or cells which have been killed due to trauma, infection, or other forms of injury. It is important to identify necrotic tissue as it can be linked to further health complications, such as tissue loss, gangrene, and sepsis. Necrotic tissue is most commonly identified through physical examination, imaging, and cell microscopy. Treatment of necrotic tissue commonly involves surgical debridement, which is the process of removing the dead tissue. Necrotic tissue can also be treated with antibiotics and other treatments based on the specific cause.
