Dear Editor,rnPenile fracture (PF) is defined as a traumatic rupture of the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa with an estimated incidence of 500-600 cases per year in the USA.1 Sexual intercourse,masturbation,forced penile manipulation,and rolling over in bed onto the erect penis are considered common causes of this fracture.Based on a meta-analysis obtained from 58 studies across 26 different countries,its incidence and etiology vary according to geographical region,patterns of sexual behavior,marital status,and culture.2 Reporting of concurrent urethral injury and long-term complications varies between various regions and countries.2 Presently,data pertaining to this condition are available from the Middle East,Europe,North Africa,as well as North and South America.However,very few studies and those too with a limited number of patients have been reported from the populations of East or Southeast Asia (12 cases reported from Thailand,11 from Hong Kong,and 6 cases from Malaysia).2 Our study describes the largest cohort evaluating postoperative outcomes of PF repair.

Despite its widespread use for prostate cancer screening,low specificity makes PSA a suboptimal biomarker,especially in the diagnostic “gray zone” of 4-10 ng ml-1.False-positives lead to unnecessary biopsies with attendant morbidities.This is the first pr
