Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Penile fracture is an uncommon urological emergency involving a tear in the tunica albuginea and rupture of the corpus cavernosum.
  • It can be associated with injury to the corpus spongiosum and urethra, necessitating careful diagnosis.

Observation:

  • The injury is most frequently sustained during sexual intercourse, often accompanied by a cracking sound, pain, and rapid detumescence.
  • Symptoms include penile shaft swelling, discoloration, and urethral bleeding, prompting suspicion of associated urethral injury.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis is primarily clinical, with urethral injury considered in cases presenting with bleeding and bilateral corporal rupture.
  • Surgical intervention, specifically closure of the tunica albuginea, is the recommended treatment.
