Abstract
Presented here are 23 patients with Fournier's gangrene who were treated be tween 1990 and 1999 in the departments of general surgery, urology, and pla stic and reconstructive surgery. Patients were reviewed retrospectively and are discussed according to age, gender, bacteriology, etiology, treatment, and outcome in the light of the current literature.
