Article Synopsis
- - Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a serious, rare infection that leads to fast-spreading tissue damage, often requiring surgical interventions like hysterectomies and debridement, as illustrated by a case involving a 25-year-old woman post-cesarean section.
- - The patient's condition was confirmed through pathology showing a bacterial infection in the uterus; however, diagnosing NF can be difficult due to vague symptoms and no specific indicators.
- - Early detection is essential for better outcomes, relying on a scoring system that assesses laboratory values, and a collaborative medical team is crucial for effective treatment and managing complications, especially in postpartum cases.
Objective: We present a systematic, sustainable, student-led model for supporting the Surgical Clerkship experience.
Design: Our model includes student-led suturing and knot-tying classes, operating room tours, skills sessions, and shelf review sessions provided systematically for each of 5 Surgical Clerkship blocks in the 2017 to 2018 academic year.
Setting: Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
Mortality and amputation rates from acute arterial occlusion are reported from 7 to 37 per cent and 10 to 30 per cent, respectively. Recent data from thrombolysis or peripheral arterial surgery suggest no significant differences between initial management with surgical or thrombolytic therapy. Mortality and amputation rates were in the above ranges.

In the lower extremity patency ranged from 0 to 121 months (mean 22.4 +/- 4.
