摘要

Penile fracture is a rare urologic emergency, defined as a traumatic rupture of the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum. It mainly affects the young subjects during sexual intercourse. The purpose of this study was to report treatment outcomes in 6 patients with penile fracture observed in the Department of Urology-Andrology, Souro Sanou University Hospital of Bobo-Dioulasso. The study involved six patients with an average age of 38.3 years admitted in the hospital with painful penile swelling (4 cases) and persistent urethrorragia (2 cases) after wrong coital movement or forced manipulation of the penis. Painful swelling of the penis with penis simulating the appearance of an aubergine was the main sign found. Treatment was based on evacuation of the intracavernous haematoma followed by albuginorraphy in 5 cases and conservative treatment in 1 case. All patients had an uneventful postoperative course.
