| Popis: | Penile fracture (PF) is defined as the rupture of the tunica albuginea (TA) of the corpora cavernosa (CC) caused by trauma to the erect penis. We present a case and clinical evolution of the delayed approach of PF. Physical examination showed a ventral rounded mass in the middle surface of the penile shaft, associated with mild discoloration and edema. Surgery was performed with a vertical penoscrotal incision. We found an encapsulated hematoma on the right ventral mid penile shaft connected at its base to an approximate 1 cm transverse defect on the TA and we performed debridement and excision of the hematoma. Tunical defect was repaired with PDS 3/0 simple suture. The patient had a great postoperative evolution without local complications. The early diagnosis and surgical treatment reaches better functional results, with maintenance of erectile function in patients with penile fracture. |
