Galukande et al. (2014) reported two cases of previously rare Fournier's gangrene at the [https://www.mak.ac.ug/infectious-diseases-institute-idi Infectious Disease Institute and International Hospital Kampala (IHK)]. The cases eventually recovered with aggressive treatment. The increase in the incidence of FournerFournier's gangrene is attributed to the non-therapeutic [[Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision]] ([[VMMC]]) sponsored by the [[United States of America]].<ref>{{REFjournal

Sliwinski et al. (2014) reported the case of Fournier's gangrene in a 24-year-old man who had an elective non-therapeutic [[Adolescent_and_adult_circumcision| circumcision]] for “prophylactic hygiene reasons”. There was extensive debridement of infected tissue, which resulted in deficit of skin which was resolved by the use of a pedicle flap from the anterior abdominal wall, after which the patient recovered.<ref>{{REFjournal
