AbstractNecrotizing fasciitis is an unusual complication of gynecologic surgery. A woman developed necrotizing fasciitis at the site of suprapubic urinary catheter placement. The diagnostic criteria for necrotizing fasciitis were fulfilled by the patient, whose predisposition for the disease was undiagnosed diabetes mellitus. This rare complication of suprapubic catheter drainage must be considered in high-risk patients presenting with an inflammation at this site of cutaneous trauma.
