Abstract

Introduction: Fournier’s Gangrene is a life threatening, rapidly progressive surgical emergency with a high mortality rate even with early diagnosis and radical surgery. Aim: To get a retrospective analysis of the patients who had wide debridement and medical treatment for Fournier’s Gangrene in our clinic. Material and Methods: Four patients were evaluated retrospectively who had wide debridement and medical treatment for Fournier’s Gangrene in Haydarpafla Numune Hospital, 2nd General Surgery Clinic between 2003 and 2004 Results: Female to male ratio was 2/2 with a mean age of 72. Sigmoid loop colostomy + wide debridement + antibiotherapy was performed to all cases. Mortality rate was 50%. Remaining two cases had closure of colostomies after 10 weeks of treatment. Conclusion: Mortality rate increases when there is a delay for diagnosis and treatment in Fournier’s Gangrene. As seen in all of our patients, especially in the patients with fever, doing a thorough physical examination gives us an opportunity for early diagnosis and decreases the mortality rates.

Özet

Giriş: Fournier Gangreni hızlı ilerleyen, hayatı tehdit eden, erken tanı ve radikal cerrahi uygulamalarda dahi mortalitesi yüksek olan acillerden biridir. Amaç: Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde Fournier Gangreni nedeni ile debridman ve medikal tedavi uygulanan olgular retrospektif olarak irdelenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Haydarpaşa Numune Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi 2. Genel Cerrahi Kliniği’nde 2003–2004 yılları arasında ateş etiyolojisi nedeni ile araştırılan dört Fournier Gangreni olgusu başvuru şikayetleri, etiyolojik ve risk faktörleri, kliniğimize başvurma süreleri, fizik muayene ve laboratuar bulguları, yapılan debridman sayıları, ostomi gerekliliği ve uygulanan tedavi protokolü açısından retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Olguların ikisi erkek ikisi kadın olmak üzere yaş ortalaması 72 idi. Olguların tümüne sigmoid loop kolostomi + geniş debridman + üçlü antibiyoterapi uygulandı. İki olgu mortal seyretti, diğer iki olgunun tedavi sonrası 10. haftada kolostomileri kapatıldı. Sonuç: Fournier Gangreni tanı ve tedavisinde geç kalındığı zaman mortalite oranları yüksek bir hastalıktır. Tüm hastalarda olduğu gibi özellikle ateş etiyolojisi ile başvuran hastalarda, fizik muayenenin tam olarak yapılması, tanının erken konmasını ve buna paralel olarak mortalitenin düşük olmasını sağlayan en önemli etmendir.
