Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Fournier's gangrene is a rare disease that affects the genital, abdominal, and perineal regions and leads to death if not treated promptly.
CASE REPORT: A 42-year-old, obese woman presented to the authors' department affected by Fournier's gangrene. In order to treat her abdominal and genital regions, the authors performed a surgical debridement followed by combined therapy with antibiotics and topical negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with instillation plus saline solution.
RESULTS: The combined therapy, but most of all the application of the NPWT, cleaned and decontaminated the wounds. As a direct result of this decontamination, after 20 days, the patient was able to undergo surgery; after 40 days of follow-up, there was no sign of recurrence.
CONCLUSION: Negative pressure wound therapy can be a good and useful treatment in the therapy of serious diseases and for the wound bed preparation in advance of surgery.
