RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To present our recent experience in the management of penile fracture. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We present 21 cases of penile fracture managed at the two Federal-owned tertiary hospitals in two neighbouring states in south-west Nigeria between 2001 and 2011. The diagnosis was based mainly on a clinical evaluation. The treatment was surgical in patients who presented within 2 weeks of the fracture. The emphasis during the follow-up was on erectile function and micturition. RESULTS: Seventeen patients presented within 48 h, two presented after a week, while two reported months later with penile deviation. The mean age of the patients was 26.4 years. The cause of fracture was sexual intercourse in 11 (52%) patients and forceful manipulation of the erect penis in 10 (48%). Thirteen (62%) of all injuries occurred in the last 2 years of the study, of which eight men were injured during rear entry with the woman on top (reverse coital) position. Six of the patients with reverse coital injuries reported trying the position after watching it on the Internet, specifically on their cellular phones. Eighteen patients had surgical treatment, with a satisfactory outcome. Two of the other three patients had penile deviation during erection. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence and causes of penile fracture appear to have changed drastically over the last 2 years in our environment. The rapid demographic changes in south-west Nigeria are probably responsible. There appears to be a relationship between the cause of fracture and the use of the Internet, although that might be coincidental. Surgical repair, irrespective of the delay before intervention, usually offers a satisfactory outcome.
