Abstract:
Penile fracture is rather rare. Authors recently experienced two cases of penile fracture and reviewed the literature. Case 1 was an 18-year-old single male who visited our emergency room on 7th Dec, 1980 with the chief complaint of painful swelling and deformity of the penis. The present illness started with a cracking sound. An emergency operation was done. The Buck's fascia and the tunica albuginea of the left corpus cavernosum were torn transversely with hematoma formation. The hematoma was removed and the tom tunica albuginea and Buck's fascia were sutured. On the 6th post-operative day, he discharged with improved symptoms. Case 2 was a 35-year-old married male who visited our emergency room on 5th Dec, 1981 with the chief complaint of painful swelling and deformity of the penis. He also experienced a cracking sound. The corpus cavernography showed the tearing of the corpus cavernosum on the proximal dorsal penis. An emergency operation was done. The Back's fascia and the tunica albuginea of the right cavernosum were torn about 2 cm transversely. The tom albuginea and the Buck`s fascia were sutured with 4-0 Dexon. On the 11th post-operative day, he discharged without penile deformities.
