how How realistic is it to have maggots to remove dead flesh?

In House of the Dragon, ep 2House of the Dragon, season 1S01E02, the maester is giving King Viserys I a very unique treatment for his pinky finger.

  • By burying it into a swamp of maggots.

The purpose is to allow maggots to eat away the dead flesh off from his pinky finger.

How realistic is it?

But what happens to all the bacteria  / parasitesparasites one can contract from maggots? How practical is it?

I remember in the movie, Gladiator, starring Russel Crowe, when he travels in a slave cage, a fellow slave puts some maggots onto his open wound as well for the same purpose.
