  • Title: Fournier's syndrome following anorectal examination and mucosal biopsy.
    Author: Cunningham BL, Nivatvongs S, Shons AR.
    Journal: Dis Colon Rectum; 1979; 22(1):51-4. PubMed ID: 421650.
    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.
