Overview
There are several risk factors for gangrene and these include penetrating trauma, blunt trauma, recent surgery, obesity, alcoholism, mucosal breach, skin breach, and immunosuppression. [1] [2] [3][4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Risk Factors
There are several risk factors for gangrene and these include:
- Penetrating trauma
- Blunt trauma
- Minor laceration
- Recent surgery (urologic, colonic or gynecologic procedures).
- Obesity
- Alcoholism
- Mucosal breach (rectal fissures, hemorrhoids, episiotomy)
- Skin breach (insect bite, varicella lesion, injection drug use)
- Immunosuppression (cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, HIV, etc.) blunt trauma [1] [2]
