Overview
Surgery is not the first line treatment option for patients with cutaneous sporotrichosis. Surgical therapy is usually reserved for patients with either osteoarticular sporotrichosis or pulmonary sporotrichosis.
Surgery
- Surgical therapy may be necessary in the management of osteoarticular sporotrichosis, a form of sporotrichosis that impacts bones and joints.
- Draining impacted joints can help minimize permanent damage.
- Debridement of impacted bone may help increase the effectiveness of pharmaceutical treatments.[1]
