Summary
Penile fracture, a tear in the corpora cavernosa, can result from sudden penile trauma. Early surgical intervention for penile fracture leads to satisfactory outcomes, preventing long-term complications.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Trauma Surgery
Background:
- Penile fracture is a rare but serious condition resulting from trauma to the erect penis.
- It involves a tear in the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa.
- Delayed intervention can lead to significant penile deformity and erectile dysfunction.
Observation:
- This report details a case of penile fracture specifically caused by masturbation.
- The patient presented with symptoms indicative of penile trauma.
Findings:
- Diagnosis was primarily based on clinical assessment, which is often sufficient for penile fracture.
- The patient underwent timely surgical intervention to repair the corpora cavernosa tear.
Implications:
- Early surgical repair is crucial for a positive prognosis in penile fracture cases.
- Prompt treatment can prevent permanent penile deformity and restore erectile function.
- This case highlights that even non-coital trauma, such as masturbation, can cause penile fracture.

01:29Penis
The penis serves a dual role in sexual reproduction and urination. It consists of three main regions: the glans penis, the body, and the root, each with distinct functions and unique anatomical features.
Anatomy of the Penis
The glans penis, or the head, is the terminal part of the penis and houses the external urethral orifice, the exit point for urine and semen. Covered by the prepuce, or foreskin, the glans is noted for its sensitivity and plays a key role in sexual pleasure. The body of the...

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
