BACKGROUND: @entity174 of the penis is a relatively rare condition that is defined as a rupture of the tumescent corpora cavernosa as a result of @entity130 , most commonly during sexual intercourse or masturbation. The @entity174 is easy to recognize but treatment remains controversial. We, therefore, examined the treatment methods for @entity546 . METHODS: Between December 1990 and March 2001, eight @entity1 underwent immediate surgical repair on the first or second day after @entity174 of the penis, and one @entity1 underwent surgery on the 30th day after @entity174 , at Kansai Rosai Hospital. @entity1 age at presentation ranged from 15 to 55 years. Eight @entity1 came to the hospital 2-23 h after the @entity174 occurred. All @entity1 complained of @entity546 and ecchymosis. Three @entity1 reported hearing a snapping sound. None of the @entity1 demonstrated macroscopic @entity811 . RESULTS: We treated all of the @entity1 surgically. All @entity1 showed a unilateral injured corporeal rupture. We took a circumferential coronal incision under the glans and repaired with absorbable stitch. At follow-up, eight of the nine @entity1 who were available reported the achievement of an adequate erection for intercourse without @entity323 . CONCLUSION: All @entity1 were treated surgically and recovered successfully. Therefore, immediate repair is recommended for the treatment of @entity546 .
