Split-thickness skin grafting: a novel approach in the treatment of Fournier's gangrene.

Sir, Fournier ’s gangrene is an uncommon rapidly progressive polymicrobial (aerobes and anaerobes) infection of the genital, perineal and perianal region, 4] resulting in necrotizing fasciitis, due to endarteritis of scrotal vessels and gangrene of the scrotum. It can involve contiguous areas like the lower urinary tract, anus, rectum and colon. The course of disease is rapid and the disease can be lethal if not treated urgently.
