    Abstract Fournier's gangrene is a life-threatening infection which requires prompt recognition, early surgical debridement of unhealthy tissue, and initiation of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Relook debridement are usually performed until all the devitalized tissue has been removed. Involvement of the anal sphincter may result in significant morbidity such as permanent incontinence. Dynamic reconstruction of the anal sphincter has always been one of the holy grails in the field of pelvic reconstruction. We demonstrate a new method of camera shutter style double-opposing gracilis muscle flaps that allows dynamic sphincteric function without the need for electrostimulation. The bilateral gracilis muscles are inset in a fashion that allows orthograde contraction of the muscle to narrow and collapse the neoanal opening. With biofeedback training, the patient is able to regain dynamic continence and return to function without a stoma. There was also no need for neurotization or microsurgery techniques to restore sphincteric function to the anus. The patient was able to reverse his stoma 14 months after the initial insult and reconstruction with biofeedback training without the use of electrostimulation.

    Abstract Introduction: A gastric diverticulum is a rare form of diverticular disease due to outpouching of the gastric wall. It is equally presented within both sexes and commonly occurs in fifth and sixth decades of life. Patients mostly asymptomatic but may present with mild gastric symptoms. Surgical treatment is largely dependent on the patient's symptoms, and a laparoscopic approach is usually recommended for surgery.
    Case presentation: A 77-year-old gentleman presented to the outpatient clinic with a one-month history of passing black stools. He was arranged for an oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) which revealed a gastric body polyp and a diverticulum in the fundus of the stomach.
    Discussion: Gastric diverticulum is defined as an outpouching of the gastric wall. They are uncommon, with an incidence between 0.01-0.11%. Predisposing factors include: areas of weakness caused by splitting of the longitudinal muscle fibres, an absence of peritoneal membrane and perforating arterioles. The management of patients with gastric diverticulum depend largely on their symptoms. There is no specific treatment required for an asymptomatic diverticulum.
    Conclusion: Gastric diverticula are rare conditions which are largely asymptomatic but may present with varying signs and symptoms and may require surgical intervention.
