Fournier Gangrene: A Single Center Experience (A Retrospective Study of 11 Cases)

Abstract

Fournier gangrene (FG) is a surgical emergency which is requiring debridement and antibiotic therapy. The aim of this study was to get a retrospective analysis of the 11 patients who had wide debridement and medical treatment for Fournier's Gangrene in our clinic. We retro-spectively reviewed the data of patients with FG. Eleven patients treated for FG during a nearly 8-years period (from January 2005 to Octo-ber 2012). Eleven patients with FG (10 males, 1 female; mean age, 46 years; range, 34-64 years) were analyzed. The most frequent causes of infections were colorectal diseases and urogenital diseases. The most common predisposing factors were diabetes mellitus (54.5 %), anorec-tal abscess (18.1 %). All patients underwent surgical debridement and diversion colostomy was necessary in 4 patients (%36.3). The overall mortality was 9.09% (which was immunocompromised patient with diabetes mellitus). Surgery with extensive debridement of all necrotic is the main stay of treatment. Early clinical identification and prompt, aggressive treatment are essential for reducing mortality and morbidity in patients presenting with this disease.
