[A case of Fournier's gangrene in which Flexi-Seal was effective for evacuation management].

A 67-year-old male was referred to our hospital with septicemia from necrotizing fasciitis of the genitalia of unknown origin. He had a history of diabetes and cerebral infarction. Extensive debridement of necrotizing tissue was performed over an area extending from the lower abdomen to the light inguinal,scrotal and perianal regions. At a suitable point,Flexi-Seal was applied to the wound as a preventive measure against infection. There was no contamination of perianal wounds,allowing them to be closed without infection. The Flexi-Seal was successfully removed after around 3 weeks. This is the second case in which Flexi-Seal was used in Japan to treat Fourier's gangrene.
