Abstract

Introduction: Jean Alfred Fournier first described Fournier's
gangrene in 1883 as a quickly progressing and possibly
fatal necrotizing fasciitis of the skin and soft tissue of the scrotum,
perineal region, along with the abdominal wall. The best
method of reconstruction is still debatable now.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of E-light in management
of post-fournier's gangrene sequelae.
Patients and Method: Sixteen male patients with isolated
penile or scrotal post-Fournier's gangrene raw area participated
in this study to be treated by E-light sessions.
Results: Twelve patients (75%) had an excellent satisfaction
rate, and four (25%) rated it as good. No fair or poor results
were documented.
Conclusion: We recommend the utilization of E-light in
the management of post-Fournier's gangrene isolated raw areas
of the scrotum and penis as it is an efficient, simple, and
cheap treatment with satisfactory results and no complications
