Abstract
Fournier syndrome, also known as Fournier gangrene, is a rare and potentially fatal disease that affects the soft tissues of the genital and perineal region. It is usually caused by a serious bacterial infection, often from a nearby source such as the urinary tract, intestines or skin. This bacterial infection spreads rapidly through the subcutaneous tissue, resulting in inflammation, necrosis (tissue death), and possible sepsis (generalized infection). The objective of this article was to understand the surgical procedures performed on patients with this syndrome and to understand how the process of reconstruction and repair of these conditions occurs. After surgery to treat Fournier syndrome, patients can experience a number of post-operative benefits. This includes removing the infection, relieving symptoms such as pain and swelling, preventing serious complications such as sepsis, promoting proper tissue healing, and improving overall quality of life. Successful recovery from surgery is critical to ensuring these benefits and allowing patients to resume their daily activities.
