Penile Necrotizing Fasciitis (Fournier's Gangrene) after Penile Prosthesis Implant in diabetic patient treated conservatively – A case report.

Background: Penile abscess and necrotizing fasciitis are very rare. Diabetes mellitus is the common risk factors. In our practice, this is the first reported case of penile necrotizing fasciitis after penile prosthesis insertion. Aim of the work: We intended to present our case of penile necrotizing...

Aim of the work: We intended to present our case of penile necrotizing fasciitis treated conservatively. A written consent has been signed by the patient to release information for this study.Case description: Our patient is a 52 years old male, who had a history of painless skin loss of the penis (ventral aspect of the lower parts of the shaft) for 7 days. The skin necrosis started 21 days after implantation of penile prosthesis. He had controlled type-2 diabetes mellitus. No specific signs were detected by general examination. There was discrete tenderness on penile wound; which was 2.5*4.2 cm of skin loss, with white patches, purulent discharge, elevated edges and erythema. The management consisted of use of antibiotics (oral combination of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and local fusidic acid) with 0.9% normal saline washout on regular intervals. There was excellent wound healing with minimal tissue loss. Conclusion: Our case report revealed that, the serious complication of necrotizing fasciitis may occur after implantation of penile prosthesis. Surgical intervention was not indicated and conservative medical treatment was successful.Nabeel KuwaijoMohammed Abo ElmagdPonnusamy MohanAl-Azhar University, Faculty of Medicine (Damietta)articlepenilenecrotizingfasciitisfournier'sprosthesisMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Medical Arts, Vol 2, Iss 2, Pp 483-486 (2020)
