title: [Rupture of the corpora cavernosa. Evaluation of 5 cases].
abstract: Five cases of fracture of penis with a mean follow-up of 52 months are described. Four underwent early surgical treatment and one was treated conservatively. This latter case developed penile curvature from fibrosis. The literature is reviewed with special reference to treatment. Like most of the authors, we advocate early surgical management as the treatment of choice for rupture of the corpora cavernosa.
