ABSTRACT
Introduction : Les urgences péniennes sont multiples et variées. Elles peuvent mettre en jeu le pronostic fonctionnel sexuel du patient. L'objectif de notre étude était de rapporter les aspects cliniques et thérapeutiques des urgences péniennes au CHU de Libreville. Matériel et Méthodes : Nous avons réalisé une étude rétrospective de janvier 2016 à décembre 2020 au service d'urologie du CHU de Libreville. Les variables comprenaient les données sociodémographiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques des patients pris en charge pour une urgence pénienne. Résultats : Durant cette période, 63 patients ont été pris en charge pour urgences péniennes. L'âge moyen était de 27±17,3 ans avec des extrêmes de 1 et 90 ans. Les urgences péniennes les plus fréquentes étaient le priapisme (55,5%) et la fracture de verge (15,9%). Le délai moyen de consultation en urologie était de 121 343,3 heures pour une médiane de 10 heures tandis que celui de prise en charge était de 34,3±74,6 pour une médiane de 2 heures. Les principaux gestes effectués étaient la ponction des corps caverneux (n=29, 46%) suivie de l'albuginorraphie (n=9, 14,3%) et du shunt caverno spongieux (n=9, 14,3%). Conclusion : Les urgences péniennes sont relativement fréquentes. Elles sont dominées par le priapisme et la fracture de verge dans notre contexte. Le pronostic fonctionnel sexuel est bon mais le délai de prise en charge demeure encore long.
Introduction: Penile emergencies are multiple and varied. They can jeopardize the patient's functional sexual prognosis. The objective of our study was to report the clinical and therapeutic aspects of penile emergencies at the University Hospital of Libreville. Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study from January 2016 to December 2020 at the Urology Department of the CHU of Libreville. Variables included sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic data of patients managed for a penile emergency. Results: During this period, 63 patients were managed for penile emergencies. The mean age was 27±17.3 years with extremes of 1 and 90 years. The most frequent penile emergencies were priapism (55.5%) and penile fracture (15.9%). The mean time to consultation in urology was 121,343.3 hours with a median of 10 hours, while the mean time to management was 34.3±74.6 with a median of 2 hours. The main procedures performed were corpora cavernosa puncture (n=29, 46%) followed by albuginorraphy (n=9, 14.3%) and cavernospongiosus shunt (n=9, 14.3%). Conclusion: Penile emergencies are relatively frequent. They are dominated by priapism and penile fracture in our context. The sexual functional prognosis is good but the delay of management remains long.

Objectives: To evaluate our experience with the management of penile fractures. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively studied 30 cases of trauma to the erect penis seen at the Urology Department of Mohammed VI University Hospital; Marrakech; Morocco between January 2001 and January 2004. In general; the patients presented between 3 hours and 10 days after the injury; however the majority (25 patients) presented within 12 hours after the injury. The mean age of the patients was 33 years (range: 17 - 70 years). The diagnosis of penile fracture was entirely based on clinical features. The commonest cause of penile fracture was violent sexual intercourse (12 cases). The injury involved unilateral corporeal rupture in all patients with the length of the fracture site varying from 1 to 3 cm. Surgery involved an elective incision on the site of the fracture in all patients. Hospital stay ranged from 1 to 2 days. All patients were followed up for at least 6 months. Results: The postoperative period was uneventful in all patients but one who developed infection of the incision. At follow-up 3 months after the intervention; all patients were able to have a painless sexual intercourse and reported an adequate erection without erectile dysfunction or penile curvature. Conclusion: Our results show that an elective incision is a reliable method to treat unilateral penile fracture without urethral trauma
