Fournier’s gangrene (FG) is a surgical emergency. The main treatment plan for this disease includes several aggressive debridements, which lead to the development of massive soft-tissue defects in the affected area. Current literature describes various possible reconstructive options for the closure of those defects, yet, there is no evidence on which is the most efficient. Here we describe an unusual case of an otherwise healthy male presenting with a scrotal Fournier’s gangrene. In our case, the reconstruction was performed via anterolateral thigh flap. Due to a postoperative complication the flap was partly lost, however, consequences were managed successfully and a satisfactory result was achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
