Abstract
We have presented a rare instance of Fournier's synergistic gangrene following anorectal examination and biopsy. Early diagnosis and extensive debridement were necessary. Extensive debridement necessitated a significant reconstruction task. This technique of genital reconstruction should be familiar to surgeons dealing with colonic and rectal disease.Keywords
