Abstract

Scrotal reconstruction is a procedure performed on patients with areas of loss of tissue from the genital, perineal, or perianal region. The cause of the formation of these areas, in most cases, is due to Fournier syndrome, a disease of unknown etiology, although it has its risk groups such as diabetic patients, immunosuppressed patients, colorectal pathology or alcoholism. Fournier's gangrene is a urological emergency whose final objective is scrotal reconstruction, which was carried out in the present case.
