User error: excessive quantity of energy was delivered (25.2kj) in relatively small area (suprapubic area- mons).This energy surplus, transforming into heat, was irradiated with a retarding effect towards the dermal tissue, causing burns and tissue necrosis.A subsequent secondary infection cannot be ruled out.Summary of related investigations an excessive amount of energy generated an accumulated surplus of heat which evolved into trans skin burn with necrotic outcome and possibly a secondary infection (erysipelas).
