ABSTRACT

We report a rare case of penile fracture with incomplete urethral rupture in a 25 years old male who sustained the injury during sexual intercourse. He presented with a tense haematoma on the ventral aspect of the penile shaft, associated with urethral bleeding. Per urethral catheterization was possible though it was painful. Exploration and repair of the penile fracture and urethra were performed within 16 hrs. The patient made an uneventful recovery with good erectile and voiding function. This case illustrates the value of early surgical repair of the fracture in order to prevent complications. The true incidence of penile fracture is not known even in the Western countries because it is under reported or hidden for social embracement and even it is reported to physicians it remains undiagnosed or mismanaged. Very rarely it is associated with urethral rupture.
