Abstract

Fournier’s gangrene is a necrotizing infection of the perianal region with a high mortality rate. Early stabilization and aggressive surgical treatment are the mainstays for the management of the disease. This article describes the case of a young obese woman who developed Fournier’s gangrene and was treated with radical surgical debridement, bypass colostomy, negative pressure system and early enteral nutrition. A literature review is also included.
