    Difference Between Dry and Wet Gangrene

    Uploaded by

    Nitamoni Deka
    The document discusses the differences between dry gangrene and wet gangrene. [1] Dry gangrene is more common in the limbs, has a clear line of demarcation, and the tissue is dry, shrunken and black. [2] Wet gangrene is more common in the bowels, has a vague line of demarcation, and the tissue is edematous, putrefied, discolored and moist. [3] Dry gangrene has a better prognosis as bacteria cannot survive and limited amputation is sufficient, while wet gangrene has a poorer prognosis due to profound sepsis and requires major amputation.
