Abstract
Maggot therapy has proved its efficacy for treating wounds. Debridement of the wound bed is crucial for wound healing and also for preparing the wound bed before grafting. Here, we present a rapid and efficient debridement of an extensive electrical wound by the use of Lucilia sericata larvae. After about 4 times of maggot therapy, the patient could successfully receive skin autograft. For this study, we applied the larvae that were reared and disinfected in the lab. Provision of the facilities to maintain suitable conditions (such as appropriate humidity and temperature) is influential for obtaining good results from maggot therapy for wound healing.
