“…The vulnerability of the erect penis is explained by the thinning of the tunica albuginea from 2 mm when the penis is flaccid to 0.5 mm-or even 0.25 mm-when erect 1 and by pre-existing fibrosclerosis and inflammation of this tunica. 3 Penile fracture is a relatively uncommon urologic emergency. Until 2001, 1642 cases had been reported in the literature.…”

“…4 Ereksiyon hâlindeki peniste ortalama arteriyel basınç 100 mmHg civarında iken, korpus kavernozumun rüptüre olması için intrakavernöz basıncın 1.500 mmHg'nin üzerine çıkması gerekmektedir. 5 Korpus kavernozum rüptürü genellikle tek taraflı olsa da, hastaların %2-10'unda bilateral rüp-tür gözlenmektedir. Bilateral rüptürlü hastalarda gözlenen üretral yaralanma %9-20 oranındadır.…”

“…Urethral rupture occurs subsequent to bilateral cavernosal rupture with an incidence of up to 38% [7]. Much lower percentages of urethral ruptures, up to 3%, are reported in Iran and Japan, where the underlying causes are reasons other than sexual intercourse [8]. Although urethral injuries are not frequent, due to urethra location, they are mainly associated with gross hematuria, urethrorrhagia, or voiding inability.…”
