Objectives:
To report our experience in early surgery of penile fractures.
Methods:
We review retrospectively all the cases that underwent surgery at our center from 1989 to 2009, with a total of 24.
Results:
The cause of the fracture was sexual intercourse in most cases, and in all of them, surgical management was performed according to clinical presentation and physical exploration. In only 7 cases an ultrasound was performed as a complementary test.
Discussion:
Early surgery allows prompt resolution of the problem with excellent functional outcomes and little side effects.
Conclusions:
The prognosis after emergency surgery was excellent in this review.
