A detailed literature survey on the gas phlegmone was carried out, aiming at deepening in the main pathophysiological, microbiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutical aspects of the mionecrosis due to clostridium, given its high prevalence and incidence either in peace times or in war times. The current considerations on the evaluation of the main complications and what to do to eliminate them are given.
