OBJECTIVE: @entity546 , being defined as @entity397 of the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum, is uncommon. Here, we analyze findings on our @entity1 during a 10-year period and evaluate the role of retrograde urethrography. METHODS: From February 2002 to April 2012, 116 @entity1 were admitted with @entity546 at Ghaem Medical Center. @entity1 history and physical examination were taken at their admittance to detect probable @entity130 . Before surgery, retrograde urethrography was performed in all @entity1 . The size and site of the tunical @entity397 were recorded. Then the @entity397 of tunica albuginea was sutured with nonabsorbable (3-0 nylon) sutures and the ties were placed on the internal surface (continuous method). All @entity1 were followed up for 12 months. RESULTS: @entity1 ' mean age was (32.78  10.61) years and ranged (16-62) years. The mechanism of @entity130 was sexual intercourse in 103 @entity1 (89%) and masturbation in 13 @entity1 (11%). The most common site of injury found after exploration was right (55%) and lateral (74%) of the corpus cavernosum. The size of the tunical @entity397 was from 0.5 to 3.0 cm (mean 1.88  0.72). Three of the @entity1 had @entity244 . @entity130 was detected by retrograde urethrography in 4 @entity1 (3%) who had macroscopic @entity811 and urethrorrhagia. During 12 months follow-up, no complication was seen. CONCLUSION: There is no need to perform retrograde urethrography unless the @entity1 have gross @entity811 or urethrorrhagia. The key to success in treatment of @entity546 is to achieve a rapid diagnosis based on history and a physical examination, avoid unnecessary imaging tests and perform immediate surgery to reconstruct the site of injury.
