Fractures of the penis seen in Abu Dhabi.
We report on 9 patients with fracture of the penis seen during 5 years in a single hospital serving only part of a city population of less than 300,000 persons. Of the 9 patients 7 were expatriates unaccompanied by their wives. This factor possibly is significant in the social etiology of this injury. Two patients presented late and were managed conservatively, with a poor result in 1 who was not lost to followup. Of the 7 patients who underwent immediate penile exploration, evacuation of hematoma and repair of the defect 6 had no resultant penile deformity and 1 had mild shaft curvature on erection, while all retained erectile potency. We advocate an operation as the method of treatment.
