Fournier’s gangrene (FG) is a septic process accompanied by tissue necrosis of the scrotum, penis and perineum, as well as systemic inflammatory syndrome and endotoxicosis. FG is associated with long hospital stay and high mortality. In recent decades, there has been an increase in the incidence of this pathology, as evidenced by the indicators of the “database of the treated case” in Kyrgyzstan. This fact is associated with the growth of immunocompromised patients and, first of all, patients with diabetes mellitus. The result of treatment depends on the correct tactics, time and volume of emergency surgery. This article presents a 5-year experience of treating patients with FG against the background of diabetes mellitus in the department of purulent surgery of the National Hospital in Bishkek.
