Abstract: Fournier’s gangrene is a necrotising fasciitis of the perineum due to synergistic infection. The aim of this study is to know the presentation and the predisposing factors of Fournier’s gangrene and the various management modalities. This is a retrospective study over the period of 2 years from June 2018 to June 2020. In which there were a total of 35 patients included and were analysed for the age at presentation, duration of symptoms at presentation, associated co-morbidities, isolated organisms and the length of stay in the hospital. Most of the patient’s age was above 50 years and had associated co-morbidities like diabetes mellitus. At presentation the patients were in SIRS and were subjected to immediate surgery followed by broad spectrum antibiotics and regular dressing. Once the wound was healthy either primary closure was done or skin grafting was done. Despite of advances in medical field the mortality remained pretty high in Fournier’s gangrene cases.
