title: Fracture of the penis with urethral rupture.
abstract: We report a case of fracture of the penis. Emergency operation revealed total rupture of the urethra. The ruptures of the tunica albuginea as well as the urethra were sutured, and convalescence was uneventful. A slight urethral stricture without practical significance was demonstrated during followup. In cases of fracture of the penis with suspected urethral damage we advise urethrography followed by emergency operation.
