Penile Fracture: The “Cracking” Sound and Intra-operative Tunica Albuginea Repair
Published on: 21st January, 2026
Penile fracture is a rare urological emergency typically characterized by an audible “cracking” sound, immediate detumescence, and rapid penile swelling following trauma to an erect penis. We present clinical and intra-operative images of a 37-year-old man with a proximal tunica albuginea tear confirmed at urgent exploration and repaired with absorbable sutures. Early surgical exploration with hematoma evacuation and primary repair remains the preferred approach to reduce long-term complications such as penile curvature and erectile dysfunction.
