AbstractTwelve patients with fracture of the penis have been treated in this department during the last 18 years. Their mean age was 41.5 years (range 25-55) and two-thirds of the injuries resulted from coitus. Eleven patients underwent immediate exploration and repair of the tunica albuginea and only 1 still has sexual dysfunction. One patient was treated conservatively and remains impotent. Immediate surgical treatment is recommended, since it avoids the formation of penile plaque, penile fibrosis and angulation and accelerates restoration of normal penile function.
