Penile fracture: emergency surgery for preservation of penile functions
Abstract
Traumatic rupture of the corpus cavernosum is a rare injury and occurs following a blunt trauma on erected penis. We herewith present 16 cases which underwent a uniform emergency operation. With this strategy we observed no complications, and all penile functions including erection were preserved.
