Destructive Xylazine Wounds: A New Entity Faced by Thoracic Surgeons
Xylazine has caused increasing drug-related mortality and necrotic wounds. Neck and chest injections have caused destructive lesions that have engaged thoracic surgeons. We present 3 cases from Philadelphia, the epicenter of xylazine use, and discuss the multidisciplinary care effort. Providers should be aware of the symptoms of xylazine use to appropriately treat patients.
