ABSTRACT
This study was designed to evaluate the clinical manifestations and results of operative treatment in penile injury during erection. We reviewed 18 cases of penile injury during erection from December 1992 to June 1996. Of 18 patients, 14 patients were treated with early operation, 3 patients with conservative treatment and followup was 1 to 31 months (mean 14.1 months). Patients age ranged from 23-76 years old (mean 39.6 years), common cause of the injury was sexual intercourse (8 cases), masturbation (3 cases) and finger-pressure (2 cases) in order. Of 8 patients who occurred during sexual intercourse, 7 patients were married. The injury developed at midnight in 8 cases (44%), early morning in 7 cases (39%) and the other times in 3 cases (~7%). Of 14 patients who received with early operation, 13 patients revealed rapture of the corpus cavernosum and 1 patient revealed rupture of superficial dorsal vein. The site of penile fracture showed proximal shaft in 8 cases (62%), midshaft in 3 cases (23%) and distal shaft in 2 cases (15%) in order. The overall complication rate of early operative treatment was 15% (2 of 13 cases) compared to a complication rate of 100% (2 of 2 cases) for conservative treatment. In conclusion, our experience demonstrates that the most common cause and site of penile injury are sexual intercourse and proximal shaft, early operative treatment would be an effective treatment of penile injury to prevent complications.
