Fournier's gangrene with extension to medial thigh. Sharp debridement exposing testicles and corpus cavernosum. After source control was obtained and all necrotic tissue was debrided via multiple ORs, the patient underwent orchiopexy with conversion to local wound care for residual defect. Ultimately the patient followed in clinic and underwent split thickness skin grafting.

Fournier's Gangrene post debridement. Debridement was done in the intensive care unit itself as patient was not fit for any anesthesia, unfortunately, due to overwhelming septicemia, he didn't make it. Note how extensive the debridement is and the testes are bared (a dictum in Fournier's Debridement).
