The current issue is interdisciplinary in nature as is presents papers written by urologists, surgeons and anaesthesiologists. This again confirms that coloproctological patients require a multidisciplinary approach.

I strongly recommend an original paper on a serious septic complication known as Fournier’s gangrene, which was based on extensive medical records of 30 patients from two urological departments. The experience of our fellow urologists in the treatment of this serious condition is consistent with other publications on the subject: multifactorial therapy including both septic shock treatment and a simultaneous aggressive surgical treatment using the latest techniques (skin grafting, vacuum dressings) is necessary.
