Abstract
Intracavernous injection (ICI) therapy is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) that has been used since 1982. Intracorporeal needle breakage is a rare complication of this procedure, with a few case reports in the literature. Thus, we present a case of a 54-year-old man with needle breakage during routine application. The precise location of the needle was confirmed by radiography and ultrasonography. This patient was successfully treated with surgical exploration and needle withdrawal. No postoperative complication was reported and he maintained his usual response to intracavernous vasoactive agents. Although rare, it can be solved with immediate surgical exploration with no long-term complications.
