Abstract:
A 50-year-old male with past medical history of diabetes mellitus presented with extensive Fournier's Gangrene. He had a wide-spread area of involvement and the wound vacuum placement involved the entirety of the phallus. We describe a surgical technique where the penis can be diverted from the site of the wound to allow for more secure wound vacuum placement and future reconstructive options.
