Abstract
The aim was to carry out an epidemioclinical and therapeutic study of fractures of the penis at the Csréf in Markala. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective prospective descriptive study of 13 cases of fracture of the penis during four years at the Csréf of Markala from 01 January 2019 to 01 January 2023. All patients who had a treated penis fracture were included in our study. All patients who had other forms of trauma to the penis other than a penis fracture were excluded. Results: The frequency of fracture of the penis was 14.8% compared to other urological injuries. The average age of our patients was 36.30 years with extremes ranging from 25 to 54 years. 53.8% of our patients were single. The average consultation time was 14.8 hours, with extremes ranging from 3 hours to 47 hours. The approach was longitudinal in some cases and in other cases a circumferential incision or at the level of the balano preputial fold. The most frequent complications were penis bending, with 15.5% (2 patients), urethral fistula was observed in one patient (7.7%), and we also noted cases of fibrosis of the erectile bodies (23.1%). Conclusion: The fracture of the penis is a real uro-andrological emergency, and the treatment must be rapid and effective in order to avoid irreversible after-effects, which may even lead to erectile dysfunction or urethral stricture in these patients. The approach must be appropriate in order to prevent short, medium and late complications.
