Innovative dual-access surgical strategy for advanced pelvic Fournier's gangrene: a retrospective study assessing combined suprapubic and transsacral debridement.
Observational study in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDeep-pelvic Fournier's gangrene (FG) spreading via supralevator abscesses is a rare yet clinically challenging condition, often requiring meticulous surgical intervention to ensure adequate drainage while avoiding critical anatomical injury. Although combined suprapubic and transsacral approaches for extraperitoneal compartment access and linked-loop drainage systems represent innovative strategies, their efficacy and outcomes remain underreported. This study aimed to analyze the clinical outcomes of patients with deep-pelvic Fournier gangrene treated using this dual-approach technique.
methodsThis observational retrospective study included nine patients diagnosed with deep-pelvic FG complicated by extraperitoneal extension across three tertiary medical centers (January 2015-August 2024).
resultsData from nine patients, including age, sex, body mass index, and comorbidities, were extracted and analyzed. All of the patients were successfully drained by the combined suprapubic and transsacral approach. No postoperative morbidity and secondary debridement occurred. During the follow-up period, 3 patients developed anal fistulas, which were subsequently treated with fistulectomy.
conclusionThe combined suprapubic and transsacral approach demonstrated high procedural success and favorable healing outcomes in treating deep-pelvic FG.
