A Multistep Approach In Fournier’s Gangrene Management: Serial Surgical Debridement, Protective Colostomy, Vacuum Assisted Closure Therapy And Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

Abstract

Fournier’ gangrene is a progressive and highly mortal necrotizing fasciitis of the genital, perineal and perianal region. The most important step of the treatment includes early diagnosis and surgical debridement. In this two case report we aimed to discuss our multistep treatment approach in Fournier’s gangrene including serial surgical debridement, protective colostomy, vacuum assisted closure (VAC) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
