Abstract

Fournier's gangrene is a rare disease with a severe course and high mortality, the prognosis of which depends on timely diagnosis and timing of surgical intervention. Nonspecific clinical manifestations and the rapid development of the inflammatory process create certain difficulties for surgeons in making the correct diagnosis and treating such patients. This review presents the issues of diagnosis and treatment of Fournier's gangrene at the present stage of development of medicine.
