Penile Gangrene: A Case Report

2006 
Few case reports regarding penile gangrene have been published. There is no optimal clinical treatment. A 59-year-old man with multiple complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and uremia on hemodialysis presented with bilateral foot and penile gangrene. Although a partial penectomy and concurrent antibiotics were provided, the patient died due to sepsis and DM complications. In the literature, it was found that it is important to control the underlying systemic disease and provide good debridement of the wound as early as possible, or the prognosis is poor.
