Rare case of penile fracture caused by an injury to the crus penis: Delayed repair using the transperineal approach

Abstract

Penile fracture is a rare urologic emergency, and its surgical treatment is selected based on the damaged site of the penile corpus cavernosum. Penile fractures at the site of the crus penis are quite rare, and there is controversy regarding the preferred method of surgical repair. Case presentation: A 25-year-old Asian man was injured when rolling over in bed. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a tear in the left crus of the penis with a hematoma. Delayed surgery was successfully performed using the transperineal approach. He did not experience pain, dysuria, or erectile dysfunction postoperatively. Conclusion: Delayed surgical repair using transperineal approach may be useful for penile fractures associated with penile crus injuries.
