Abstract

We report a new incision for repair of penile fracture. We describe 2 cases in which the inguinal scrotal incision was used for repair of penile fracture. The preoperative evaluation as well as the technical case and rationale for use of this incision are discussed. Preoperative cavernosogram delineated the site of the fracture. Immediate repair of the fracture using the inguinal scrotal incision was successful. The inguinal scrotal incision should be entertained for cases of penile fracture. It avoids incision into markedly edematous penile skin and allows for excellent visualization of the fracture site.
