Traumatic rupture of the corpora cavernosa.
Treatment of penile fracture, due to the low number of cases, still lacks adequate documentation. The authors present two cases of such pathology, which were treated conservatively, and presented penile deformities in the late follow up. Both conservative and surgical management are discussed; since surgery in these cases has low mortality and clinical treatment can be followed by various sequelae, the authors favour the former, stressing that it is mandatory in cases with urinary obstruction, progressive infiltration of cutaneous laceration.
