ABSTRACT

To review the effect of early surgical exploration and repair, of penile fractures, on the overall prognosis of these injuries and the maintenance of erectile function. This was a retrospective study in which we reviewed a total of 16 patients with penile fracture who presented over a period of 36 months. Associated urethral injuries were found in 3 out of the 16 patients [18.75%]. All patients were treated by early surgical repair within 24 hours from the time of injury.They were discharged in good condition and were followed up, both clinically and pharmacocavernosographically, in the outpatient department with excellent results. We recommend early surgical exploration and repair of these injuries because of the excellent results, shorter hospitalization, less morbidity and earlier return to full sexual activity
