Use of magnetic resonance imaging to guide direct repair of penile fractures---a change to the operative paradigm
Abstract:Penile fractures are an uncommon urological emergency, typically diagnosed on clinical grounds and require urgent operative intervention. Examination findings include penile swelling and bruising, commonly referred to as an “eggplant deformity”. Close palpation to identify the exact site of injury is often limited by pain.
