The most common penile injury and often causing erectile dysfunction in the surgical emergency is cavernous rupture. The rupture of the corpus cavernosum needs to be treated early and accurately to avoid leaving the patient with complications of sexual dysfunction later on.
Normally, the body of the penis is made up of two cylindrical structures located on either side of the penis, called the corpus cavernosum. The cave has a spongy structure located between the urethral sheath (the way for urine to exit). The cave plays an important role in the process of creating an erection of the penis, the outside is covered with a tough white membrane. When in the state of erection, blood rushes to the corpus cavernosum and squeezes to not escape, creating a physiological phenomenon known as an erection. At this point, the surrounding membrane will stretch thin, so the structure is weak and easy to tear, so if there are traumas to the white sheath that covers the object, it can cause rupture of the corpus cavernosum. The amount of blood from there flows out and begins to overflow under the deep mesenteric membrane of the penis, causing symptoms causing hematoma in the scrotum, perineum, or trauma to the penis, also known as cavernous rupture.

In Vietnam, urological surgeons often choose two main methods: incision along the longitudinal axis of the penis axis and transverse incision around the circumference of the penis body. Currently, transverse incisions are the method used by most surgeons because they have many advantages of immediately accessing the rupture as well as avoiding scarring of the penis later.
