[Penile fracture. Report of a case].
Fracture of the penis is a rare occurrence, and one which, in the majority of cases, is the result of a trauma during sexual intercourse. It affects one or two cavernous bodies, and is accompanied by a urethral lesion in between 10-38% of cases. Diagnosis is mainly clinical, although a urethrocystography is recommended if urethral lesion is suspected. Most authors currently prefer early surgery in order to prevent the appearance of sexual or urological sequelae, which occurs in 10-53% of patients treated conservatively. Here we present a case of fracture of the penis which was treated with early surgery, obtaining good aesthetic and functional results.
