ORIGINAL RESEARCH-SURGERY: Seventeen Years' Experience of Penile Fracture: Conservative vs. Surgical Treatment

Diagnosis of penile fracture can be based on history and physical examination; diagnostic tests such as ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are generally not required. Fractures must be repaired either immediately or delayed. Because management with emergency surgical repair is the most effective approach, with the lowest complication rate, surgical treatment should be preferred compared to a conservative approach.
