Sexual function outcomes following penile fracture repair: a case series

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate sexual function outcomes following penile fracture repairs and their dependence on timing of the procedure.
Case series analysis of patients with penile fractures
Assessment of sexual function outcomes
Identification of fracture locations and types
No significant correlation between repair timing and sexual function outcomes
Majority of fractures located ventrally
Common fractures involved base of shaft with right laterality

Abstract

Penile fractures can negatively affect sexual function, but the extent of the impact is non-dependent on the timing of the repair. The preponderance of penile fractures were ventrally located, with base of shaft fractures coupled with right laterality being the commonest in our setting.
