The value of pre-operative MRI in management of penile fractures

Penile fracture is a urological emergency which requires urgent assessment and surgical intervention to avoid long term complications. In this report, we describe a case in which penile MRI was used for initial assessment and surgical planning. This allowed exact localisation of the tunical tear and...

description Penile fracture is a urological emergency which requires urgent assessment and surgical intervention to avoid long term complications. In this report, we describe a case in which penile MRI was used for initial assessment and surgical planning. This allowed exact localisation of the tunical tear and allowed direct incision over the tear for repair. In this case, the man avoided circumcision, which would be often required with the conventional degloving approach.
