Abstract

The development and management of necrotizing cellulitis following penile constriction ring use is described. Devastating injuries such as this can be highly distressing for patients and focused counseling is often needed to address concerns regarding cosmetic outcomes. The timeframe and appearance of recovery has not been previously captured. We present a photographic timeline covering the development, management, and postoperative recovery from penile constriction ring injury over the course of 1 month.
