ABSTRACT = {Fournier’s gangrene is an uncommon necrotizing infection 
affecting the genital and perineal area. Penile involvement 
in particular is rare owing to its rich vascular supply. In 
this report, we document a case of Fournier’s gangrene 
involving penile and urethral tissue requiring multiple 
debridements resulting in significant penile deformity and 
a non-healing wound. Eventually, the patient underwent 
penectomy and perineal urethrostomy creation. In this 
case, penectomy and perineal urethrostomy provide a 
functional outcome for highly refractory and complex 
patients with Fournier’s gangrene involving penile tissue.},
