To determine the optimal surgical timing in high-risk patients with Fournier's gangrene by the Simplified Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index. ⋯ The Simplified Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index is a quick and reliable screening tool for first-line physicians to identify high-risk patients with Fournier's gangrene (Simplified Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index >2) who have poor survival outcomes. We recommended early surgical intervention within 14.35 h to maximize the survival of high-risk Fournier's gangrene patients.
