The consequences of Fournier's gangrene in the penis or scrotum: the role of electrophotobiomodulation in conservative therapy
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Background:
In 1883, Jean Alfred Fournier initially defined Fournier's gangrene as a rapidly developing and potentially lethal necrotizing fasciitis of the skin and soft tissue of the abdominal wall, scrotum, and perineal area. The optimal reconstruction technique is still up for debate.
Objective:
to assess how well E-light works for treating the aftereffects of post-fournier's gangrene.
Patients and Method:
E-light sessions were used to treat sixteen male patients with isolated penile or scrotal post-Fournier's gangrene raw areas.
Results:
Twelve patients (75%) had an excellent satisfaction rate, and four (25%) rated it as good. No fair or poor results were documented.
Conclusion:
Since E-light is an effective, easy, and affordable treatment with positive outcomes and minimal side effects, we advise using it to treat post-Fournier's gangrene isolated bare areas of the scrotum and penis.
