Surgical management and post-operative functional outcomes of patients with a penile fracture-a single centre experience over 10 years.

Background: Penile fractures are uncommon urological emergencies which occur when there has been a breach in the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosum that may be unilateral and bilateral and can extend to involve the urethra.

Aim: To assess the management and outcomes of penile fractures in a single institution in Ireland.

Methods: A retrospective review of the emergency theatre logbooks was performed between 2011 and 2021 to identify patients who had undergone an exploration for a suspected penile fracture.
