ABSTRACT
 Objective: To analyze the outcomes of the patients who underwent surgical treatment of penile fracture especially emphasizing the effects of the time of surgery on erectile function of the patients. Material and Methods: Between 2007 and 2019, 31 patients who were consulted with the complaints and suspicion of penile fracture to the Emergency Department of Pamukkale University Hospitals were evaluated retrospectively. Erectile functions both prior to the surgery and at postoperative 3rd month were evaluated. The patients who had an International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) decrease in the follow-up before the procedure and the patients who received medical treatment and no change in IEFF were divided into two groups. Compatibility of variables to normal distribution was evaluated with the Kolmogorov Smirnov test. The results were expressed in 95% confidence interval and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In the study conducted on the etiology of a decrease in IEFF and the need for treatment after surgery, it was found that the rate of application to the emergency room within the first 6 hours statistically decreased the rate significantly. In addition, it has been found that the surgical application in the first 12 hours decreases both IEFF and the need for treatment in the IEFF. Conclusion: Penile fracture is a rare urological emergency. Erectile dysfunction which can be seen after penile fracture, is significantly reduced with early application of penile fracture within 6 hours to the hospital and surgical repair within the first 12 hours.

Keywords: Erectile dysfunction; emergency treatment; urologic surgical procedures, male
ÖZET
 Amaç: Penil fraktür cerrahisi uygulanan hastaların özellikle cerrahi zamanının, tedavi sonrası erektil fonksiyonlar üzerindeki etkilerini vurgulayan sonuçları analiz etmek. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2007 ve 2019 yılları arasında Pamukkale Üniversitesi Hastanesi Acil Servisi'ne penil fraktür şüphesi ile başvuran 31 hasta retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Ameliyat öncesi ve ameliyat sonrası 3. ayda erektil fonksiyonları değerlendirildi. Hastalar takiplerinde Uluslararası Erektil Fonksiyon İndeksi-5 (IIEF-5) skorlarında düşme olup bunun için tedavi alan ve IIEF-5 skor değişikliği olmayan 2 gruba ayrıldı. Değişkenlerin normal dağılıma uygunluğu Kolmogorov Smirnov testi ile değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar %95 güven aralığında ifade edildi ve p<0,05 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: IEFF'de azalma etyolojisi ve tedavi ihtiyacı etyolojisi azatlmak için yapılan çalışmada, hastaların ilk 6 saat içinde acil servise başvurusu ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde azaldığı bulundu. Ek olarak, ilk 12 saatte yapılan cerrahi uygulamanın hem IEFF'yi hem de IEFF'de tedavi ihtiyacını azalttığı bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Penil fraktür nadir görülen bir ürolojik acil durumdur. Penil fraktür tedavisi sonrası görülebilen sertleşme bozukluğu, hastaneye 6 saat içinde erken başvuruda bulunulması ve ilk 12 saat içinde de cerrahi onarım ile önemli ölçüde azalır.
