Surgical Debridement for Fournier - Abstract
Fournier’s Gangrene is an infrequent yet perilous ailment that involves a swift advancement of infection in the genital area and perineum. Usually, it results from polymicrobial infection and necessitates immediate surgery along with broad-spectrum antibiotics. Factors such as diabetes, weakened immunity system, or injuries to genitals may elevate its risk level significantly. Henceforth early diagnosis followed by prompt treatment can help enhance patient outcomes while also curtailing mortality rates effectively. A case report is presented of a 68-year-old man who was admitted to the Emergency Department due to an extensive necrotic area in his perineal and
perianal regions. The patient had previously experienced uncontrolled type 2 diabetes.
