Imaging findings in suspected penile fracture: alternative diagnoses and surgical correlation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The primary objective is to compare the imaging and surgical findings in a cohort of patients with suspected penile fracture (PF).

Methods

Retrospective cohort study of all patients with suspected PF over an 11-year period at a tertiary referral andrology centre. All dedicated presurgical imaging with ultrasound (US) and MRI was analysed and correlated with intraoperative findings; alternative diagnoses were recorded.

Results

One hundred and ninety-three patients were included. One hundred and four (54%) had alternative diagnoses to PF including dorsal vein rupture and haematoma. Ninety-nine (51%) underwent surgical exploration of which 89 (46%) had PF. US correctly confirmed the presence and marked the site of fracture in 92% of cases. MRI was primarily us
