Not as much as necrotic tissue still attached to the patient, I suppose. (The idea is that these maggots are extremely good at debridement, that is, at eating only the dead tissue and leaving the still healthy ones alone; other methods, like scalpels, can’t be so discriminating, and force the doctors to remove healthy tissue to make sure there’s no necrosis left).
