The experience of treatment Furnier’s gangren complicated by peritonitis

Fournier’s gangrene (FG) is a rare but rather formidable disease that has been occurring more and more often in surgical hospitals of the country in the last decade. Such situation, in our opinion, is explained by an increase in the number of immunocompromised patients. A number of concomitant diseases is a predisposing factor for the development of FG: diabetes mellitus, obesity, cirrhosis, malignant tumors, alcoholism, drug addiction, glucocorticoids, condition after chemotherapy, nutritional deficiency. The course of the disease is accompanied by a high mortality rate – up to 88.0 %, and among the surviving patients, about 30.0 % need constant care after discharge from the hospital and more than 50.0 % – in repeated reconstructive and plastic surgeries on the genitals and perineum. Annually in our clinic, up to 5–6 people are hospitalized with this diagnosis. In this article, we present a rare clinical observation of the treatment a patient with FG, complicated by the development of peritonitis with a favorable outcome.
