[Fournier gangrene]. 1997

W Teichmann, and R Wakker, and U Possin

Fournier's gangrene is a rapidly spreading soft tissue infection. Applying our main principles of therapy to the four patients we have treated in the past 4 years, all patients survived. One case report is presented in detail. Early diagnosis is essential. CT plays an important role. Aggressive resuscitation, daily surgical exploration and debridement remain the key to the management of this disease. The prevention of orchidectomy is one of our aims. Faecal diversion is seldom necessary.
