PENIL FRACTURE AND RESULTS OF TREATMENT

Fifteen patients with fracture of the penis were treated conservatively or surgically between June 1991-October 1998 at our clinic. Average age of the patients was 29.8 years, with range from 21 to 49 years. Ten of patients were treated surgically, immediately after the diagnosis was established, whereas 5 were treated conservatively. Postoperative complications were 10% in surgical group such as wound infection and 40 % in conservative group such as penil curvature and fibrous plaque. The duration of hospital stay in surgically treated patients ranged from 2 to 5 days (average: 4.1 days), in conservatively treated patients ranged from 5 to 14 days (average: 8.6 days). In conclusion, we think that early surgical treatment is useful, effective, short hospitalisation duration and has low complication ratio in penil fracture management.

PENÝS FRAKTÜRÜ VE TEDAVÝ SONUÇLARI

Haziran 1991-Ekim 1998 tarihleri arasýnda kliniðimizde tedavi edilen 15 penis fraktürlü hasta retrospektif olarak deðerlendirildi. Hastalarýn yaþ ortalamasý 29.8 yýl (21-49 yýl) idi. On olguya erken cerrahi, 5 olguya konservatif tedavi uygulandý. Postoperatif komplikasyon oranlarý cerrahi grupta % 10 (yara enfeksiyonu gibi) ve konservatif grupta ise % 40 (penil kurvatür ve fibröz plak gibi) idi. Cerrahi tedavi uygulanan hastalarda hastanede kalýþ süreleri 2-5 gün (ortalama: 4.1 gün), konservatif tedavi uygulanan hastalarda ise 5-14 gün (ortalama: 8.6 gün) olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak penis fraktürü tedavisinde erken cerrahinin uygun, etkili hastanede kalýþ süresi kýsa ve komplikasyon oraný düþük bir tedavi modalitesi olduðu kanaatine varýldý.
