| Abstract Objective: The aim of this study is to present our experience in the management of patients with penile fracture by immediate surgical repair. Patients & methods: A total of 14 men with fractured penis had been evaluated and treated from January 1994 to February 2003. Their age ranged from 20-35 years with a mean age of 25 years. All were managed by immediate surgical exploration with evacuation of the hematoma and repair of the lacerations. Results: Our operative and post operative plan resulted in a brief hospital stay, very few complications and good to excellent results in 12 (86 %) of cases with preservation of normal penile erection, normal marital relations and no penile deformity. Conclusion: These results compare favorably to operative management reported by most studies. Therefore, early surgical repair of the rupture is advocated. Key words: Corpora rupture, penile fracture, Treatment, Outcome. | ||
