Complete Urethral Rupture Related with Penile Fracture Occurring during Sexual Intercourse: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Journal Title: JOURNAL OF UROLOGICAL SURGERY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

Complete disruption of the urethra due to penile fracture is a very rare occurrence. Herein, we report a case of a 39-year-old man who presented with penile fracture and complete disruption of the urethra as a result of sexual intercourse and present a review of the literature on penile fracture. Surgical exploration at presentation was performed and primary repair was done. In follow-up, the patient reported moderate erectile dysfunction which over time responded to phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor drugs. Early surgical repair and evaluation for concomitant urethral injury in case of penile fracture is highlighted in this report.
