Meleney's gangrene is a synergistic polymicrobial infection of the anterior abdominal wall causing rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis of skin and subcutaneous tissues. When combined with Fournier's gangrene, the mortality rates are higher. Here, we discuss a case of Meleney's with Fournier's gangrene managed with appropriate antibiotics and extensive wound debridement, followed by a successful split-thickness skin grafting of the lower anterior abdominal wall and scrotum.

Split-thickness skin grafts are widely used to treat chronic wounds. Procedure design requires surgeons to predict how much a patch of the patient's own skin expands when it is meshed with rows of slits and stretched over a larger wound area. Accurate prediction of graft expansion remains a challenge, with current models overestimating the actual expansion, leading to suboptimal outcomes.
