Introduction-Penile fracture is one of the important urological complications due to rupture of tunica albugenia of corpus cavernosum that requires emergency surgical exploration.
Materials and methods- We aimed to review the data of five patients with penile fracture those presented to our hospital from January 2022 to December 2022. In our patients age, clinical findings, etiology, and site of fracture were analyzed using USG Doppler. Patients were followed up using IIEF-5 questionnaire and penile color Doppler was done in patients with low score in IIEF-5.
Results- The mean age of the patients was 44 years.All patients had penile fracture after sexual intercourse. 60% patients had penile ecchymosis, 100% had penile swelling(100%), and 60% had sudden detumescence . The defect was proximal in all patients (3 on right side and 2 on left side). All patients were surgically explored in the emergency O.T. One out of 5 patients had erectile dysfunction as per IIEF-5 Score.
Conclusion- All penile fracture patients should be surgically explored and repaired as soon as possible to prevent chances of erectile dysfunction.
