Intraoperative Ultrasound-Guided Repair of Penile Fracture: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in urology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Penile fracture is a rare urological emergency resulting from rupture of the tunica albuginea during blunt trauma to an erect penis, typically during sexual intercourse. While immediate surgical repair is associated with superior outcomes compared with conservative management, delayed treatment can lead to significant long-term complications including penile curvature in 30% of cases and erectile dysfunction in 50%-62% of cases. We present the case of a 22-year-old patient who sustained a penile fracture while manipulating his erect penis. Clinical examination revealed penile swelling, bruising, and a 60° leftward curvature. Intraoperative ultrasound (IO-USG) with a linear probe precisely localized a tunica albuginea defect in the right corpus cavernosum, enabling a minimally invasive 1.5-cm transverse incision directly over the fracture site. This approach avoided complete penile degloving, reduced operative time and blood loss, and facilitated complete clot evacuation and defect closure using interrupted 3-0 PDS sutures. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with the patient discharged the following day and reporting normal erectile function and no penile deformity at the 3-month follow-up. A literature review confirms that while preoperative imaging is commonly utilized for surgical planning, IO-USG guidance for real-time fracture localization and incision placement remains rarely reported. Although MRI and CT offer superior soft tissue resolution, they are limited by availability, time constraints, and radiation exposure. IO-USG is readily accessible and noninvasive; although operator-dependent, it provides high-resolution real-time guidance that enables smaller incisions, minimizes postoperative complications such as glans numbness, and optimizes functional outcomes. We conclude that IO-USG-guided repair of penile fracture facilitates rapid identification of the injury site, accurate assessment of hematoma burden, and targeted surgical approach that avoids penile degloving while ensuring complete repair.
