[Fracture of the penis]

Fracture of the penis is a rare traumatic lesion with typical clinical symptoms. Six cases treated at the Clinic of Urology in the city of Varna from 1985 through 1989 are presented. Five patients were operated and one patient received conservative treatment. There were no significant complications, except one pseudodiverticulum and one slight deformity of the penis; none of them affected normal sexual activity. A review of the literature is made. Immediate surgical treatment is recommended.
