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.

Most foreign bodies in the lower genitourinary tract are self-inserted through the urethra for masturbation. It can be diagnosed by clinical histories and physical examinations of the patient, endoscopy and radiologic evaluations. Extraction should be tailored as the surgery, endoscopic manipulation and dissolution according to the nature of the foreign body and should minimize bladder and urethral injury. We report a case of a long wire in the bladder and urethra with brief review of literatures.

This study was designed to evaluate the clinical manifestations and results of operative treatment in penile injury during erection. We reviewed 18 cases of penile injury during erection from December 1992 to June 1996. Of 18 patients, 14 patients were treated with early operation, 3 patients with conservative treatment and followup was 1 to 31 months (mean: 14.1 months). Patients age ranged from 23-76 years old (mean: 39.6 years), common cause of the injury was sexual intercourse (8 cases), masturbation (3 cases) and finger-pressure (2 cases) in order. Of 8 patients who occurred during sexual intercourse, 7 patients were married. The injury developed at midnight in 8 cases (44%), early morning in 7 cases (39%) and the other times in 3 cases (~7%). Of 14 patients who received with early operation, 13 patients revealed rapture of the corpus cavernosum and 1 patient revealed rupture of superficial dorsal vein. The site of penile fracture showed proximal shaft in 8 cases (62%), midshaft in 3 cases (23%) and distal shaft in 2 cases (15%) in order. The overall complication rate of early operative treatment was 15% (2 of 13 cases) compared to a complication rate of 100% (2 of 2 cases) for conservative treatment. In conclusion, our experience demonstrates that the most common cause and site of penile injury are sexual intercourse and proximal shaft, early operative treatment would be an effective treatment of penile injury to prevent complications.

An anorectal foreign body can cause serious complications such as incontinence, rectal perforation, peritonitis, or pelvic abscess, so it should be managed immediately. We experienced two cases of operative treatment for a self-inserted anorectal foreign body. In one, the foreign body could not be removed as it was completely impacted in the anal canal. We failed to remove it through the anus. A laparotomy and removal of the foreign body was performed by using an incision on the rectum. Primary colsure and a sigmoid loop colostomy were done. A colostomy take-down was done after three months. The other was a rectal perforation from anal masturbation with a plastic device. We performed primary repair of the perforated rectosigmoid colon, and we didea sigmoid loop colostom. A colostomy take-down was done three months later. Immediate and proper treatment for a self-inserted anorectal foreign body is important to prevent severe complications, and we report successful surgical treatments for problems caused by anorectal foreign bodies.

OBJECTIVES: This survey was attempted to examine the psychological significance, such as depression, anxiety and delinquent, of pubertal changes(expressions of secondary sexual characteristics) between student and delinqent group. METHOD: Data were collected through self-report questionnaire survey over a period 12 months. Subjects served for this study consisted of 248 adolescents including 90 delinquent adolescents and 158 student adolescents in Korea, sampled from Korean middle school population and delinquent adolescent population confined in juvenile corrective institutions. The SDS & SAS were used to evaluate the state of depression & anxiety in adolescents, respectively. RESULT: 1) The early-bloomer outnumbered late-bloomer in male delinquent adolescent. 2) There were the significant differences in first experiences of masturbation, expression of pubic hair, expression of axillary hair, expression of facial hair among secondary sexual characteristics between both groups. 3) In student adolescent, there was no significant difference in anxiety, depression level between early-bloomer and late-bloomer. 4) In male delinquent adolescent, late-bloomer was significantly more anxious, depressive than early-bloomer. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest the rapid pubertal changes during adolescence have effect on delinquency, depression, anxiety, especially male. Furthermore we may assume that this preliminary results will provide useful information in understanding the psychological aspect of adolescents.

Foreign bodies in genitourinary tract are common and almost of then are within the bladder. These foreign bodies were inserted or applied for autoerotic, psychiatric, therapeutic, or no definite reasons by the patient. Foreign bodies(a thermometer and a piece of cloth) in the bladder were inserted as a mean of masturbation in two cases, and a cooper wire in the posterior urethra was introduced by iatrogenic causes in one case. In one case, four magnets were inserted into the bladder for the purpose of forceful penile erection. Clinical history, symptom, radiologic study, and endoscopic examination were required to diagnose foreign body. They were easily removed by endoscopic manipulation or open surgical procedure.

PURPOSE: Penile fracture is a rare but serious urological condition. Immediate surgical repair is widely accepted as the treatment of choice in penile fracture. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term outcome of immediate surgical treatment of penile fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of 12 men with penile fracture who were treated in the Department of Urology, Sanggyepaik Hospital, Seoul, Korea from January 2000 to June 2005. Diagnosis was made clinically and was confirmed by cavernosography in all our patients. All patients underwent immediate surgical repair, within two days after trauma, using a degloving incision. The long term results of the immediate surgical repair were evaluated using questionnaire on outpatient department visiting or telephoning. RESULTS: The median patient age was 43 years (range, 18 to 57 years). The median follow-up was 32 months (range, 14 to 60 months). Of these patients, 8 (66.7%) patients were injured during sexual intercourse, whereas 4 (33.3%) patients were injured during masturbation. All patients were treated by immediate surgery. All patients reported satisfactory, painless erectile function; two developed penile curvature and one had a penile nodule. CONCLUSIONS: Immediate surgical repair of penile fracture is effective, restores erectile function, and the incidence of complications is low.

Most foreign bodies found in the bladder are inserted through the urethra. Abnormal psyche senility, inebriation, and eroticism are the most frequent causes for such induction. The following is a report of a male who slipped Nylon silk into the urethra during masturbation and lost it in the bladder while attempting to remove it.
