Penile fracture: an unusual presentation with lacerations of bilateral corpora cavernosa and partial disruption of the urethra.
Fracture of the penis is a relatively uncommon form of urologic trauma. We report an unusual case of rupture of both corpora cavernosa associated with partial disruption of the urethra. The patient underwent surgical repair using a Foley catheter as a urethral stent. The patient experienced excellent results with preservation of all functions.
