Abstract

We report a case of Fournier's gangrene, an infectious disease of high morbidity and mortality, treated at the Urology Department of the HH. UU. Virgen del Rocío (Sevilla). Altered functional patterns are showed, following the model of M. Gordon and nursing care provided. It highlights the need for good coordination between the nursing teams of hospitalization, hospital care and primary health care, since this will depend largely on the good resolution of the surgical wound and the patient's health status..
