PENILE FRACTURE. IS IT THE MANAGEMENT PROBLEM FOR THE UROLOGIST IN THE RURAL?
ABSTRACT: Fracture of the
penis is a rupture of the corpus cavernosum due to blunt trauma. In the West
the penile fracture is commonly resulted from trauma in sexual intercourse but
in the Middle East and Mediterranean is predominantly due to masturbation. The
other causes are unconscious nocturnal manipulation or fall onto the erecting
penis. We present a penile fracture case, one of the less frequent urological
traumas, referred to the Sardjito Hospital. The report illustrated a 23 year
old circumcised male, who had suffered from penile fracture while his penis was
erecting. He was referred to the hospital by a general practitioner two days
after the incident. Immediate surgical repair was done with the indication of
specific history and severe hematoma in the penis as the clinical
presentations. The patient was discharged on day 8 postoperation. A mild
hematom was present in the wound and no sign of infection. Discussion about
penile fracture written in the literature by authors is presented.
