Fracture of the penis: clinical experience and surgical treatment

ABSTRACT

Nine patients with penile fractures were treated surgically between 1982-1991. Of these 9 patients who underwent immediate surgical exploration, evacuation of hematoma and repair of the tear in the tunica albuginea, 8 had no resultant penile deformity and 1 had mild shaft curvative on erection, while all retained normal erectile potency and normal sexual performance. The hospital stay was brief [mean 4.66 days]. In view of these good results we advocate early surgical repair as the treatment of choice for patients with penile fractures
