Abstract
Necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) is a rare, life-threatening emergency. Fournier's gangrene (FG), a type of NSTI affecting the perineal, genital, or perianal region, requires prompt and aggressive treatment and has a multifactorial aetiology. However, cases of FG in patients without predisposing factors, as a complication of an elective procedure, are seldom reported. In this report, a 32-year-old patient without prior medical history presented with a NSTI after elective circumcision. Patient was successfully treated with multiple surgical debridement's, antibiotic therapy and hemodynamic support. Healthcare providers must remain vigilant, as FG has significant morbidity and mortality and early intervention is crucial.
