Fournier's gangrene: Five years' experience from a single center in Turkey.
CONCLUSION: Fournier's gangrene is a fulminant infection with a high mortality rate. Physical examination and anamnesis are quite important for the diagnosis of FG. DM is the most common comorbidity. Age, hematocrit level, FGSI and UFGSI scores affect the patients' length of stay in the ICU.
