Penile fracture with bilateral disruption of corpora cavernosa and complete disruption of the urethra A case report and review of the literature

The penile fracture is a rare blunt injury that typically happens during sexual intercourse. It might be accompanied by injury to corpus spongiosum with partial or complete rupture of urethra. We present a case of a penile fracture with bilateral rupture of corpora cavernosa and complete urethral disruption that was successfully managed. The patient underwent early surgical exploration and primary repair of the tunica defects and single stage end-to-end urethral anastomosis. Postoperatively he retained both erectile and voiding functions. Blunt penile injury with disruption of tunica albuginea of corpora cavernosa requires urgent surgical exploration and repair to avoid long-term complications as impotence, penile disfigurement and urethral strictures. Associated urethral injury should be suspected in those patients.
