Fournier's gangrene is a form of necrotising fasciitis involving perineo‐scrotal skin. It is treated with radical debridement, infection control and often leaves a large anatomical defect that is challenging to reconstruct. The anatomical location of the defect leads to faecal contamination, difficulties when mobilizing, and negative psychological impact. Traditional approaches for managing such defects have relied on either healing by secondary intention or skin grafting. There are few reported cases in the literature to cover such defects with a flap.
