Ozturk E et al. - VAC therapy is an effective and economical way to manage Fournier's gangrene. Patients and physicians were more satisfied with VAC therapy than with conventional treatment.


Exclusive Author Commentary
Ersin Ozturk, 05/13/09

In our clinical practice we've found VAC therapy extremely convinient and effective, particularly, for the treatment of patients with Fournier's gangrene or necrotizing soft tissue infections. I think it will be most benefical for physicians who work in hospitals where they can not find enough secondary personnel to share their workload, because VAC significantly reduces the hands-on-time while dealing with those kind of diseases.
