About Repair of Fractured Penis

Repair of a fractured penis, medically known as penile fracture repair, is a surgical procedure performed by a urologist to treat a traumatic rupture of the tunica albuginea, the fibrous sheath surrounding the erectile chambers. This acute injury typically occurs during vigorous sexual activity or blunt trauma when the erect penis is bent. The procedure involves making an incision to directly visualize the tear, draining the accumulated blood (hematoma), and suturing the ruptured tunica to restore structural integrity. Timely surgical intervention is crucial to prevent long-term complications such as erectile dysfunction, penile curvature, or painful erections, and to ensure optimal functional recovery and penile appearance.
