[Fournier gangrene: therapy with a pedicled rectus abdominis flap]

This paper describes the technique to reconstruct the genitals after an episode of Fournier's gangrene using the rectus abdominis muscle flap. A 44-year-old diabetic man felt ill with a Fournier's gangrene following inguinal herniotomia. The infection could be treated by aggressive débridement and by muscle flap coverage. Then we reconstructed the genitalia.
