Penile fractures, though infrequent, present a significant challenge in urological emergencies. Primarily caused by direct, blunt trauma during sexual activity, these fractures lead to tunica albuginea rupture due to escalated cavernosal pressure, categorizing them as true urological surgical emergencies. This activity focuses on the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of penile fractures, shedding light on their etiology and potential impact on a patient’s sexual health when left unaddressed.The course discussion emphasizes the paramount importance of early identification and prompt intervention in managing penile fractures to prevent long-term sexual dysfunction. Through an exploration of diagnostic approaches, treatment modalities, and the indispensable role of an interprofessional team, this session aims to equip healthcare professionals with the requisite knowledge and strategies to effectively manage and mitigate the adverse effects of this severe urogenital injury. Learners will gain insights into the nuanced evaluation techniques and surgical interventions critical in preserving sexual function and ensuring optimal outcomes for patients suffering from penile fractures.
