Core Tip	Fournier gangrene presents as a severe disease with a high mortality. In this study, 51 patients with Fournier gangrene who received enterostomy (enterostomy group) or not (control group) over the past 12 years were included. Their postoperative recovery and outcomes were compared. Ten patients in the enterostomy group and six patients in the control group required skin grafting. Compared with the control group, the time to normal body temperature and average length of hospital stay were significantly shorter, and the case fatality rate was lower, in the enterostomy group. Enterostomy can decrease the fatality rate of Fournier gangrene.
