FOURNIER GANGRENE (CASE REPORT)
Keywords:
Fournier’s gangrene, lightning gangrene of the scrotum, skin plasticsAbstract
To date, Fournier’s gangrene remains an insufficiently studied acute surgical disease of a purulent-necrotic nature. This pathology represents one of the rare forms of infectious necrotizing fasciitis of the genital and perineal regions with polymicrobial etiology. The prevalence of Fournier’s gangrene as a life-threatening surgical condition has been increasing annually. The disease is characterized by a rapid clinical course accompanied by signs of severe intoxication. In most cases, the outcome depends on the timing of surgical intervention from the onset of the disease. Timely diagnosis, prompt surgical treatment, and adequate antibiotic therapy can significantly reduce the incidence of complications and mortality.
