Clinical pathway
Fournier's Gangrene
The EAU 2026 Fournier's gangrene pathway. Recognise necrotising fasciitis of the perineum and external genitalia and know its risk factors, start broad-spectrum antibiotics on presentation (Strong), take the patient for repeated surgical debridement within 24 hours (Strong) with urinary — and, for para-rectal disease, bowel — diversion, then reconstruct by defect size. Sepsis resuscitation runs alongside and is carried over from EAU 2025 §3.9, which EAU 2026 has placed under review for the 2027 edition.
