Introduction And Importance: Despite the fact that a penile fracture is a rare emergency, it can cause morbidity in the patient, especially in terms of sexual life. If cases are not properly managed, irregularities in the penis will emerge, leading to more complicated problems. We present a case report of severe penile fracture associated with sexual intercourse.

Case Presentation: A 50-year-old man complained of soreness in his penis during sexual intercourse. The patient also has urethrorrhagia and is unable to urinate. Physical examination reveals the "Eggplant Deformity" in the penis. The operation was carried out and revealed bilateral corpus cavernosum rupture, complete urethral rupture, and ruptured Buck's fascia. The corpus cavernosum and other structures were repaired primarily, followed by an end-to-end anastomosis of the urethra. Four months later, the patient had no serious complaints, only a minor penis deviation. He can easily void and having intercourse.

Clinical Discussion: In most situations, the penile fracture can be determined nearly entirely based on the patient's medical history and physical examination. In dubious circumstances, further tests such as ultrasonography and MRI can be conducted. If a penile fracture is discovered, surgery should be undertaken. Ruptures of the corpus cavernosum, tunica albuginea and Buck's fascia can be sutured primarily. The urethral can be reconstructed using an end-to-end anastomosis. Scrotal haematomas should be evacuated and drained to prevent persistent scrotal haematomas.

Conclusion: Immediate surgery in cases of severe penile fracture provides good outcomes for erectile function, micturition and sexual intercourse with minimal complications.

Efficacy of urethral suspension-assisted urethral anastomosis as a treatment for complex long-segment posterior urethral stricture.

World J Urol

January 2025

Department of Urology, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai Eastern Institute of Urologic Reconstruction, Shanghai, 200233, China.

Purpose: To determine the clinical effects of urethral suspension-assisted urethral anastomosis on complex long-segment posterior urethral stricture and describe the technical aspects of this procedure.

Materials And Methods: The clinical data for 24 patients who underwent urethral suspension-assisted urethral anastomosis for complex long-segment posterior urethral stricture between March 2021 and March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The surgical procedure comprises the following four steps: creation of an inverted Y-shaped incision in the perineum; mobilization of the urethra up to the penile-scrotal junction followed by dissection and separation of the septum of the corpus cavernosum; separation of the inferior pubic symphysis, excising a portion of the inferior pubic symphysis bone tissue and thoroughly clearing the scar tissue surrounding the proximal urethra; and suturing and suspension of the proximal urethra and surrounding tissues at the 2, 5, 7, and 10 o'clock positions, ensuring complete exposure of the proximal urethral mucosa and tension-free anastomosis between the proximal and distal urethra.

A penile fracture is typically a urological emergency resulting from blunt trauma to the penis, particularly during sexual activity, and it is rarely associated with urethral injury. A 52-year-old male patient presented to our emergency department with complaints of penile swelling and bruising following sexual intercourse. Assessment of the patient indicated the presence of both penile fracture and anterior urethral injury, and simultaneous repairs were performed.

Background: Fracture penis is an uncommon urological emergency, which often results from sexual trauma. Diagnosis remains clinical, and early surgical management is advocated. However, the timing of the repair may have a bearing on the outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the long-term outcomes of a vascular-sparing technique for reconstructing pelvic fracture urethral injuries (PFUI), which aims to preserve blood flow to the affected area.
  • It involved 60 patients, with a success rate of 98% in preventing stenosis, highlighting the method's effectiveness.
  • The results suggest that this approach, although more complex, is safe and may lower the risk of issues related to reduced blood flow during the healing process.

Article Synopsis
  • - The article focuses on Posterior Urethral Stenosis (PUS), discussing the surgical challenges and summarizing current management practices based on a review of literature and recommendations from key urological associations.
  • - The review highlights different types of PUS, such as those resulting from pelvic fractures, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatectomy, and radiotherapy, each presenting unique treatment challenges and risks.
  • - Treatment strategies for PUS are varied and should be tailored to the specific location and cause of the stenosis, balancing surgical options with the patient’s overall health and the potential impacts on urinary and sexual functions.
