Abstract :Purpose: The aim of this study was to show that surgical treatment ıf penile fracture (PF) is more advantageous than conservative treatment in terms of complications, but those complications can be seen after surgery also, even may be serious enough to require surgery for a second time. Materials and Methods: The data of 31 patients diagnosed with PF between 05.04.2019 and 28.07.2021 were evaluated retrospectively. Three patients were excluded from the study because their data could not be accessed. 21 patients who underwent PF repair were determined as group 1 and 7 patients who were followed conservatively because they did not want surgery, as group 2. Causes of PF, admission time to the emergency department, and ultrasonographic (USG) imaging were analyzed. All patients were evaluated with the IIEF-15 form at the sixth month of surgery or conservative treatment. In addition, penile nodules and curvature were evaluated in terms of painful erection after the operation. Results: The median age for Group 1 was 43±14.52 and 47±14.71 for Group 2. Tunica defect was 7.02±3.26 for group 1 patients and 6.85±4.98 for group 2. When the presence of complications and sexual dysfunction were compared between the two groups, it was found that Group 2 developed significantly more complications and caused more sexual dysfunction. Conclusion: The treatment of PF with fewer complications is surgical treatment, but it should not be forgotten that surgical treatment may cause complications requiring a second surgical intervention.Keywords : Tunica defect, sexual dysfunction, tunica albuginea
