  • Title: A case of Fournier's gangrene necessitating total penectomy.
    Author: De S, Belsante MJ, Tausch TJ, Simhan J.
    Journal: Can J Urol; 2015 Dec; 22(6):8108-11. PubMed ID: 26688143.
    Abstract:
    Fournier's gangrene is an uncommon necrotizing infection affecting the genital and perineal area. Penile involvement in particular is rare owing to its rich vascular supply. In this report, we document a case of Fournier's gangrene involving penile and urethral tissue requiring multiple debridements resulting in significant penile deformity and a non-healing wound. Eventually, the patient underwent penectomy and perineal urethrostomy creation. In this case, penectomy and perineal urethrostomy provide a functional outcome for highly refractory and complex patients with Fournier's gangrene involving penile tissue.
