TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Penile fracture with bilateral corporeal rupture and complete urethral disruption: case report and literature review JO - Canadian urological association journal A1 - Hoag, Nathan A. A1 - Hennessey, Kiara A1 - So, Alan SP - E23 EP - 6 VL - 5 IS - 2 N2 - Penile fracture is a rare injury most commonly sustained during sexual intercourse. We report the case of a 35-year-old man who presented with bilateral rupture of the corpora cavernosa and complete disruption of the urethra. A review of the literature on penile fracture is also presented. Urgent surgical exploration was performed and the injuries repaired primarily. In follow-up, the patient reported satisfactory erectile function. This case highlights the importance of early surgical repair and evaluation for concomitant urethral injuries in cases of penile fracture.
