    AbstractInjuries of the penis are uncommon but represent urological emergencies. We report 3 cases of penile trauma illustrating the diversity of penile injury presentation. Radiological investigations are only mandatory if there is any suspicion of a urethral injury. Primary surgical approach is recommended in cases of penile fracture or local wound infection. An immediate operative exploration with removal of hematoma and primary defect closure should be done in every case. Surgical management should not be delayed to avoid late complications.2008 S.
