“…Knowledge of the pathophysiology of necrotizing fasciitis is essential to understand the clinical course and the importance of an opportune diagnosis and treatment to have a favorable prognosis 2 . The most outstanding clinical injuries are severe and extensive necrosis of the fascial surface and subcutaneous cellular tissue with destruction and liquefaction of the fat tissue 3 .…”

“…Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive soft tissue infection with important systemic toxicity 1 . This infection affects one in every 100,000 inhabitants 2 . The cutaneous microcirculation thrombosis leads to tissue necrosis and subsequently to systemic toxicity 3 , assuming the most serious form of infection that complicates into a multiorgan failure in a third of the patients 2 .…”

“…The majority of necrotizing fasciitis is classified as type I or polymicrobial (Klebsiella sp., Vibrio sp., Aeromonas, Staphylococcus, and Clostridium) 5 , and it generally belongs to elderly patients. On the other hand, type II or streptococcal is associated with young patients without comorbidities 2 and generally with a worse prognosis. Finally, type III is extremely rare; it has an aggressive evolution caused by Vibrio vulnificus 5 .…”

Necrotizing fasciitis is an acute progressive infection that develops severe systemic toxicity. If this is not treated in a timely manner, it leads to a fatal outcome. The treatment with fluids, antibiotics, and debridement is the basis for management; however, negative pressure systems are positioned at a strategic point for treatment, especially in large areas, such as lower limbs. This is the case of a 17-year-old male with no relevant medical history, who developed extensive necrotizing fasciitis in the inguinogenital region after fasciotomies due to compartment syndrome, in whom a handmade negative pressure system was successfully applied.

“…In the case of Fournier's gangrene, increased from 22 to 40% of cases as we discussed previously. 3 The prognosis gets worse according to certain factors, which are: the volume of necrosis (<3% body surface area affected is a low mortality, but if it exceeds 5%, the prognosis worsens substantially), 2 associated comorbidities (ischemic heart disease, renal failure hemodialysis dependent).…”

Necrotizing fasciitis is characterized by a rapidly progressive infectious disease affecting skin and soft tissue, usually accompanied by severe systemic toxicity. In fact, it is considered the most serious expression of soft tissue infection, by its rapid destruction and tissue necrosis, reaching more than 30% of patients checkered shock and organ failure. In recent years, its incidence is reported at 1: 100,000. This entity in the case of perineal and genital tract involvement, it is called Fournier's gangrene. In the specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology is a rare infectious complication.
