Introduction: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rapidly progressive necrotizing infection that affects the perineal and abdominal regions and is known for its high mortality rate. This study aims to present the practical experience of managing FG patients and identify factors that may affect their clinical outcomes.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from April 2009 to December 2020 at General Military Hospital in Sana'a, Yemen including 26 patients who were diagnosed with FG and treated on.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of nephrectomies versus kidney resections on renal function and blood loss, specifically analyzing outcomes like hemoglobin levels and eGFR.
- Kidney resections showed a smaller decline in eGFR compared to nephrectomies, indicating better renal function retention, while laparoscopic surgeries resulted in longer operating times but shorter hospital stays compared to open surgeries.
- Overall, nephron-sparing surgeries (like resections) were found to preserve kidney function more effectively than nephrectomies, and laparoscopic nephrectomies benefited patients with shorter hospital stays.
Objectives: The study presented focuses on patients' psychosocial status after a prostate cancer diagnosis that underwent a bilateral orchiectomy.
Methods: We evaluated the psychosocial implications of 89 patients with prostate cancer after performing castration and a bilateral orchiectomy.
Results: Patients suffered significantly more from sleep disorders during hospitalisation when compared to their time prior to an orchiectomy (p<0.
