 | | Wet gangrene is usually curable in the early stages with antibiotic therapy and excision of dead tissue (Griffith, 1995). | | | Ê In the initial stages of dry gangrene, the affected area is extremely painful to palpate (Pipkin and Janelli, 2000). | | | Noble, J.

| | Gangrene of the skin is associated with the loss of blood supply of a particular area. | | | A sudden onset of pain in the feet or legs associated with a decrease in skin temperature, and color changes to the skin of the feet is a strong indication that there has been a sudden blockage of blood flow to the legs. | | | Treatment consists of surgical removal of the gangrene, surgery to improve the circulation (by-pass surgery), hyperbaric oxygen treatment and IV antibiotics. |

| | eMedicine - Fournier Gangrene : Article by Thomas Santora, MD |
| | Clinical: The hallmark of Fournier gangrene is intense pain and tenderness in the genitalia. | | | Since Fournier gangrene is predominately an infectious process of the superficial and deep fascial planes, it is important to understand the anatomic relationship of the skin and subcutaneous structures of the perineum and abdominal wall. | | | Fournier illustrates in anecdotes some of the misconceptions of the times that created this condition, including the practice of nighttime ligation of the prepuce to control enuresis or an attempted birth control technique practiced by an adulterating man to avoid impregnating his married lover. |

| | In view of the frequent catastrophic outcomes of patients with gas gangrene, HBO therapy is an important adjunct to surgery and antimicrobial therapy, despite the lack of convincing clinical efficacy. | | | Aggressive surgical debridement and intensive medical therapy are the mainstays of treatment of gas gangrene; however, HBO therapy has become an important adjunct therapy, especially in patients with truncal involvement. | | | Although well studied, the precise role of these exotoxins in the pathogenesis of gas gangrene is not entirely clear; however, alpha-toxin apparently is of utmost importance. |

| | We are always so anxious to relieve our patients of whatever disease they may chance to have that we always make every effort for their relief in our power. | | | Occasionally, however, apparently healthy granulations spring up and progress finely for a time, and again fall into sloughing, and thus, by an alternate process of sloughing and phagedenic ulceration, large portions of the affected member or large masses of the body are destroyed. | | | Again, we only have one wash pan to the tent, and it is utterly impossible for the nurses, if they were ever so particular, to keep those who have no gangrene from using the same basin used by the gangrene patients. |

Diagnostic imaging may be useful to confirm the diagnosis, evaluate the extent of disease, detect the underlying cause, and follow the response to therapy. | | | CT evaluation of the perineum and pelvis can often show the underlying cause of Fournier's gangrene such as perianal abscesses, fistulous tracts, incarcerated inguinal hernias, and sources of infection that are an intra-abdominal or retroperitoneal process. |
