Abstract
Objective: This study examines the impact of surgical timing and suture materials on postoperative outcomes in penile fracture patients, particularly focusing on the development of penile curvature (PC). Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 63 patients treated for penile fractures between 2015 and 2024. Data on the time to surgery, suture materials, and postoperative complications such as PC were collected. Results: PC occurred in 27% of patients, with a significantly longer surgical delay in those with PC compared to those without. Suture material type (2-0 Prolene vs. 3-0 Vicryl) had no significant effect on PC or nodule formation. Conclusion: Delayed surgical intervention is associated with an increased risk of PC. Early surgery is recommended to reduce complications, while suture material does not influence outcomes.
