Traumatic gas gangrene is a fatal infection mainly caused by Clostridium perfringens. It is a challenge to manage gas gangrene in open wounds and control infection after debridement or amputation. The aim of the present study was to use vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) with continuous irrigation of
BACKGROUND
To evaluate the effect of surgical wound debridement, antibiotics, and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in the treatment of Fournier gangrene (FG).
METHODS
Forty-one patients with a mean age of 54.3±14.6 years were referred to our department with a diagnosis of FG. To calculate a Fourier Gangrene
Three patients with ANLL developed Fournier's gangrene as an early complication after allo-BMT (two cases) and auto-BMT (one case); two patients were in first CR, the third had resistant disease. Patients developed fever, perineal pain, swelling and blistering of the genital area. Pseudomonas
Basidiobolomycosis is an uncommon cutaneous zygomycete infection typically seen in immunocompetent individuals. Diagnosis can be made by biopsy and fungal culture of the lesion. Treatment with Potassium iodide and co-trimoxazole is simple and effective. Early and accurate diagnosis of
OBJECTIVE
The objectives of this study were to identify the causative microorganisms and factors associated with survival in patients with Fournier's gangrene and to determine the accuracy of the Fournier's gangrene severity index.
METHODS
We retrospectively evaluated 27 patients with Fournier's
OBJECTIVE
Fournier's gangrene (FG) is the necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and genital area and presents a high mortality rate. The aim was to assess prognostic factors for mortality, create a new mortality predictive scale and compare it with previously published scales in patients diagnosed
BACKGROUND
Fournier's gangrene (FG) is the necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and genital area. The objective of this study was to assess risk factors for mortality.
METHODS
We conducted an analytic and retrospective study of the patients with FG treated at our institution between 1998 and 2008.
Case report of a 28 year old female patient who had a localized gangrene of the cecum after the intake of Kalinor-Dragées an enteric-coated potassium tablet. It is emphasized that the enteric-coated potassium-tablets have a higher complication rate of stenosis, ulceration and spontaneous perforation
BACKGROUND
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) concomitant to surgery has been reported to reduce Fournier's gangrene (FG) mortality compared to exclusive surgical debridement. Most report from centers with relatively few patients using only surgical procedure. To assess efficiency of aggressive
OBJECTIVE
To describe the characteristics and prognostic factors of 28 patients with Fournier's Gangrene (FG) referred to our medical center at Southeastern Iran.
METHODS
This was a cross-sectional study including 28 cases of FG that were operated in Surgery department of Zahedan University of
BACKGROUND
Long-time consumption of narcotics leads to altered mental status of the addict. It is also connected to damages of different organic systems and it often leads to appearance of multiple organ failure. Excessive narcotics consumption or abuse in a long time period can lead to various
OBJECTIVE
To determine the validity of a Fournier's gangrene severity index (FGSI), developed to assign a numerical score describing the severity of FG, and evaluate factors in the survival of patients with FG.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients diagnosed with FG between 1994 and 2006.
OBJECTIVE
Pediatric small-bowel volvulus (SBV) is a surgical emergency, and early diagnosis is difficult. We analyzed the clinical manifestations, imaging findings, and laboratory parameters in children with SBV and attempted to determine the risk factors for bowel gangrene.
METHODS
Forty-nine
BACKGROUND
Fournier's gangrene is a rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and genital area associated with a high mortality rate. We presented our experience in managing this entity and identified prognostic factors affecting mortality.
METHODS
We carried out a retrospective
OBJECTIVE
To validate the predictive value of Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index in patients with Fournier gangrene and to facilitate patient mortality risk-stratification by simplifying the Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index.
METHODS
From January 1989 to December 2011, 85 male patients with
