RESUMO
A 34-year-old man with complaining of high fever and painful swelling and edema of the scrotum was admitted to our hospital. As per clinical and radiological findings, he diagnosed as a case of Fournier's gangrene. We started treatment with antibiotics, and extensive soft tissue debridement of scrotum done. After the debridement, infection was controlled by wound irrigation, higher antibiotic, regular dressing. Patient improved drastically and mature granulation covered both the testes completely within 14 days. After all this treatment, the neoscrotum was made successfully by mobilizing bilateral fascio-cutaneous flaps from adjacent supero-medial sites of the thighs. The patient was discharged on 26th day and patient is doing well in follow up.
