Abstract:
We experienced with 3 cases of penile fractures for recent 2 years, one occurred during masturbation and the others occurred during coitus(one case was associated with urethral injury). While the former was treated with conservative management, the latters were treated with surgical intervention that was immediate removal of hematoma and primary closure of ruptured corpus cavernosum. Penile deformity end decrease in rigidity occurred in conservatively treated case. However, two cases of immediate surgical treatment had a excellent result without complication. Even though we describe only 3 cases and could not compare the degree of injury. our short experiences suggest that immediate surgical intervention is better than conservative management in initial treatment of penile fracture.
