title: [Fournie's disease in the light of modern ideas].
abstract: The results of treatment of scrotum gangrene (Fournier's disease) in 25 patients aged from 34 to 82 years are presented in the article. The diseases of colorectal zone were nosological reasons of Fournier's disease in 13 patients, the diseases of urogenital tract - in 10 cases. Development of Fournier's disease was associated with closed trauma in 1 patient, and 1 case was associated with gunshot wound of perineum and scrotum. Slowly progressing forms of the disease were detected in 14 patients, fulminant and rapidly progressing variants - in 11 patients. Diabetes mellitus of different severity were identified in 6 patients. Clinical picture and laboratory data evidenced about systemic infection in all patients. Non-clostridial anaerobic microbes were the main exciters of pio-necrotic process (92%). 6 patients died. Mortality was about 24%. Toxic shock was the reason of death in 1 patient, progressing endotoxemia - in 3 cases, pulmonary embolism - in 2 cases. The authors consider that early diagnosis and active tactics of radical treatment of pio-necrotic hearth in combination with programmed (phased) remedial necrectomy are effective methods for improvement of treatment results. Also such ways as complex system of local wound treatment, focused and multicomponent therapy of systemic and metabolic disorders of homeostasis are very important in complex treatment of patients.
