| Abstract: Fournier's gangrene is one of the most disastrous urologic infections treated by clinical urologists. The rapid progression of this superficial infectious process frequently is associated with underlying conditions of immune compromise in medically complex patients. Despite current surgical techniques and modern aggressive antibiotic treatment, the mortality rate for Fournier's gangrene continues to be high. Only by early identification and aggressive management can these complex patients be salvaged effectively. Aggressive surgical intervention along with targeted broad spectrum antibiotic treatment will maximize the number of patients who survive this dreaded infection. |
