	abstract = "Fournier's gangrene has been described after injection sclerotherapy and banding of haemorrhoids as well as after conventional haemorrhoidectomy. In addition, there have been several cases following stapled haemorrhoidopexy. A patient with this complication nearly always presents within the first week following surgery. We present an illustrative case of a patient who underwent stapled haemorrhoidopexy for prolapsed haemorrhoids and presented with fever, urinary retention and peri-anal pain 39 days later. At re-operation, there was extensive peri-anal necrosis. After wide excision and fashioning of a colostomy, the patient recovered. Our case shows that late presentation can occur.",
