Fracture of the penis is a rare and probably under-reported entity. We present 7 patients with this type of trauma. All the patients were treated operatively immediately on presentation with good morphologic and functional results. The diagnosis and treatment of this unusual type of injury are discussed.

The impact of absorbable hemostatic agents on wound healing in an experimental penile fracture rat model.
BMC Urol
January 2025
Department of Pathology, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two absorbable hemostatic agents, oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) and gelatin sponge, on wound healing in a rat model of penile fracture.
Materials And Methods: A total of 32 Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: Control (C), Primary Suturing (PS), ORC, and Gelatin Sponge (GS). A penile fracture model was created in all rats, and wound healing was assessed histopathologically after two weeks.
Efficacy of urethral suspension-assisted urethral anastomosis as a treatment for complex long-segment posterior urethral stricture.

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.
Management of a Penile Fracture With Concurrent Urethral Injury: A Case Report.
Cureus

Department of Urology, Basaksehir Cam Sakura City Hospital, Istanbul, TUR.
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.
