Autoamputation of Penis Following A Fournier’s Gangrene – A Rare Occurrence
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Fournier’s gangrene is a type of polymicrobial necrotizing fasciitis involving perineal, perianal and urogenital region, especially the scrotum but rarely involves the penis. The penis is relatively spared of this life threatening condition because of its extensive vascular supply and separate fascial arrangement. We report a case of 60 year old healthy male who developed rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis of penis. The patient presented with sloughed off penis and was managed with repeated debridement and dressings of the wound.
