title: [Post-traumatic surgery of the corpus cavernous].
abstract: Basing their study on the early observation of a case of corpus cavernous fracture and referring themselves to a recent literature review, the authors agree that only surgical management and repair of the fractured tunica albuginea may hopefully provide fast recovery without sequelae. In case of delayed diagnosis, the operation will depend upon erection quality, functional impairement at intercourse, as well as upon the individual's psyche. Complete loss of erection capacity is the most ominous complication.
