Fracture of the penile shaft: results of early surgical repair

In this article, we review a total of 12 patients with penile fracture who presented over a period of 36 months. Associated urethral injuries were found in 3 out of the 12 patients [25%]. All patients were treated by early surgical repair within 48 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 advocate early surgical exploration and repair of these injuries because of the excellent results, shorter hospitalization, less morbidity and earlier return to full sexual activity
