Sixty patients\u2019 data were analyzed retrospectively between June 2020 and January 2023. The patients were divided into two groups based on the affected corpus cavernosum (unilateral and bilateral). Preoperative and postoperative 3rd-, 6th-, and 12th-month self-estimated intravaginal-ejaculation-latency-time (IELT), and international index of erectile function-erectile function (IIEF-EF) scores as well as the presence of urethral injury were compared. Bilateral corpus cavernosum fractures were detected in 18.3% of the patients. The IIEF-EF scores of both groups at 3rd-, 6th-, and 12th-month were found to be significantly lower than the preoperative scores (unilateral group:24.1\u2009\u00b1\u20092.7 vs 23.2\u2009\u00b1\u20093.5 and 23.3\u2009\u00b1\u20093.4, respectively, p\u2009=\u20090.011 and 0.014, respectively; bilateral group: 24\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9 vs 23\u2009\u00b1\u20091.8 and 23.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.5, respectively, p\u2009=\u20090.027 and 0.047, respectively). No significant difference was found between the preoperative and the postoperative 12th month IIEF-EF scores in either group (unilateral group: 24.1\u2009\u00b1\u20092.7 vs 23.4\u2009\u00b1\u20093.6, p\u2009=\u20090.207;bilateral group:24\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9 vs 23.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.5, p\u2009=\u20090.057). The self-estimated IELTs of both groups at the postoperative 3rd, 6th, and 12th months demonstrated a significant increase from the preoperative values (unilateral group: 221.6\u2009\u00b1\u200981.8 vs 252\u2009\u00b1\u200994.6, 256.5\u2009\u00b1\u200997.6, and 250.5\u2009\u00b1\u2009104.8, respectively, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001; bilateral group:241.8\u2009\u00b1\u200961.6 vs 278.1\u2009\u00b1\u200955.4, 281.8\u2009\u00b1\u200956.1, and 283.6\u2009\u00b1\u200954.2, respectively, p\u2009=\u20090.041, 0.030, and 0.047, respectively). The changes in self-estimated IELTs and IIEF-EF scores between the preoperative period and the postoperative 3rd, 6th, and 12th-months were compared, and no statistical difference was found between patients with unilateral and bilateral corpus cavernosum fractures (p\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). In conclusion, no significant difference in erectile function was found in either group at the 12-month follow-up, and the self-estimated IELTs were found to be prolonged in both groups. Furthermore, no difference was noted between the groups at any follow-up. To explain the effects of unilateral and bilateral injuries on erectile and ejaculatory functions, further studies with a larger-number of patients are necessary.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41443-024-00940-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]],"date-time":"2024-06-25T05:01:44Z","timestamp":1719291704000},"page":"659-664","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Comparison of erectile and ejaculatory functional outcomes between unilateral and bilateral cavernosal rupture in penile fractures"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1222-6424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emin Taha","family":"Keskin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1329-6034","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Osman","family":"Can","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8788-5598","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi\u011fit Can","family":"Filtekin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harun","family":"\u00d6zdemir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6712-7207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet","family":"\u015eahin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7891-9450","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G\u00f6khan","family":"\u00c7eker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cemal","family":"Topal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Halil L\u00fctfi","family":"Canat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"940_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1496","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2007.00769.x","volume":"5","author":"A Ateyah","year":"2008","unstructured":"Ateyah A, Mostafa T, Nasser TA, Shaeer O, Hadi AA, Al-Gabbar MA.
