Abstract

Emergency surgery in three cases of accidental urethral rupture during coitus involved suture of the tunica albuginea corpus cavernosum and immediate repair of the urethra under cover of a urethral guide and a cystostomy. The three perfect results obtained, with normal micturition and more particularly normal erections, together with data from reports in the published literature, strongly suggest the need for urgent repair of traumatic lesions of the corpora cavernosae during coitus. The possibility of a urethral rupture makes urgent operation even more essential, before the patient urinates, to avoid transformation of a traumatic hematoma into a urohematoma.
