The role of double-lumen irrigation-suction tube in the treatment of disseminated Fournier's gangrene: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The double-lumen irrigation-suction tube (DLIST) has demonstrated excellent efficacy in the treatment of complex infectious diseases; however, its application value in disseminated Fournier's gangrene (FG) remains undetermined. This research aims to assess the clinical efficacy and feasibility of DLIST in the treatment of disseminated FG.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 34 patients with disseminated FG admitted from October 2012 to February 2025.
