Comparison between vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) and conventional dressing for fournier’s gangrene: a single-centre retrospective study
VSD may improve clinical outcomes in patients with Fournier's gangrene by accelerating recovery and reducing antibiotic use and length of hospitalization. These benefits appear more pronounced in patients with high LRINEC scores or extensive infections. Nevertheless, individualized treatment strategies should consider systemic disease severity, such as the Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI).
