title: [Fournier's gangrene. Report of 3 cases].
abstract: The authors report their experience in three cases of Fournier's disease, observed in recent years. It has made them suspect a disease relapse may always be possible. After having thoroughly gone into this matter, they delved into some aetiologie, clinical and therapeutic notes. They found out the necessity of an early diagnosis increases the possibilities of success upon this dangerous necrotic inflammation, because it has, nowadays, a high death-rate. Finally, they remark on the advantage of the collagen aetherologous to guide and speed up the process of cicatrization of the wound.
