[Total urethral rupture during sexual intercourse]

Abstract

The authors report the case of a bilateral rupture of the corpora cavernosa associated to a total disruption of the urethra resulting from blunt trauma during sexual intercourse. This association is a rare urologic case of emergency which most often take place during sexual intercourse (0.4% of the urologic cases of emergency). When both corpora cavernosa and urethra are fully disrupted, an internal penis amputation appears, compromising the vascularization and the erectional and micturitional prognosis. The rupture of the urethra is the first complication to search. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment allow a precise assessment of the lesions and a good functional result.
