Introduction: Penile fracture is a traumatic rupture of tunica albuginea and the tumescent corpora cavernosa due to the nonphysiological bending of the penile shaft, presenting with or without rupture of corpus pongiosum and urethra. The incidence of concomitant injury of the urethra is 0-38%. Complete urethral rupture is rare, but it is almost always associated with bilateral corporeal injury.
Case Report: We presented a patient with complete urethral rupture, and rupture of the right cavernous body. According to the available literature, this case is extremely rare.
Conclusion: Fracture of the penis is relatively uncommon and is considered a urologic emergency. Prompt surgical explo- ration and repair can preserve erectile and voiding function.

Surgical indications for each of them are defined by clinical and history presentation. These techniques play a particular role in SUI recurrence after a previous urinary incontinence surgery, although there are few studies comparing their efficacy.

Introduction: Management of urethral trauma lacks clarity in the paediatric population. There is no clear guidance for management and follow-up of these patients which can lead to missing the long-term sequelae of the primary injury. Catheter-associated urethral injuries are less likely to cause a complete transaction of the urethra.
