Traumatic rupture of the corpus cavernosum: evaluation and management

M Cendron et al. J Urol. 1990 Oct.

Abstract

Rupture of the corpus cavernosum is a rare but probably under-reported entity. It truly represents a urological emergency and current recommendations are for early surgical intervention. We review 5 cases with evaluation, treatment and followup. Delays in treatment lead to long-term complications, such as erectile dysfunction and penile curvature.
