OBJECTIVES: Penile fracture is one of the urological emergencies caused by direct trauma to an erect penis during sexual intercourse, which results in a tear in the tunica albuginea within the corpus cavernosum. Serious complications such as penile curvature and erectile dysfunction may develop due to inappropriate and/or late surgical repair. This study aims to evaluate patients with penile fracture and to describe their demographics, surgical repairs, and long-term outcomes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 56 patients who were diagnosed with penile fracture between January 2012 and June 2017 were reviewed. Clinical features, pre-operative assessment, time from injury to surgery, tunica defect properties, and presence of urethral injury were assessed. Early surgical management was performed. Outcomes, including International Index of Erectile Function 5 pre-operation and after 6 months, were evaluated.
RESULTS: The mean age was 30.2 (18-57) years. In etiological questionnaires, 32 (57.2%) patients reported direct trauma to an erect penis during intercourse. The mean size of tunica defects was 1.61 ± 0.42 (0.3-3.6) cm of the nine (16%) patients, and penile fracture was associated with urethral injury. There was no significant difference in International Index of Erectile Function 5 scores before the surgery and 6 months after surgery. Penile skin necrosis developed in one patient 10 days post-operation.
CONCLUSION: Early surgical repair could be an effective method of achieving post-operative erection success in patients with penile fracture due to direct trauma during intercourse.
