Özet

Introduction: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rapidly progressive, synergistic polymicrobial necrotizing fasciitis of mostly the scrotum, vulva, genital or perianal region. Aim of our study is to investigate the relation of disease outcomes with Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis (LRINEC) score and necrosis width by examining the characteristics of the patients.
