[Two Case Reports of Penile Fracture : Consideration on Sexual Function].

Approximately 400 cases of penile fracture have been reported in Japan, but the sexual function before and after treatment has not been evaluated. Here, we show 2 surgical procedures dealing with penile fractureand examinethechange s in sexual functions using IIEF-5. Case1 was in a 51 year old malewho underwent emergency surgery for a penile fracture. The IIEF-5 score was 17 points before surgery and 8 points 2 months after surgery. At 5 months post-surgery, the patient complained of mild pain and penile curvature while erect, still the IIEF-5 score showed an improvement to 12 points. Case 2 was in a 60 year old male who underwent emergency surgery for penile fracture. The IIEF-5 score was 21 points before surgery and 8 points 2 months after surgery. Erection and ejaculation became possible 6 months after surgery, and the IIEF-5 score showed an improvement to 21 points. After surgery, the IIEF-5 score declined and sexual function also declined temporarily, though both gradually improved. From a sexual functioning standpoint, surgical treatment would be preferable.
