Introduction: Blunt trauma to the
penis is a rare but potentially serious injury that can occur by various
mechanisms (e.g., kicks, accidents, sexual activity, and falls). The
most common clinical presentation is sudden pain, swelling, and
discoloration. Depending on the type and severity of injury, management
can include conservative treatment or surgery, with the ultimate goal
being the prevention of delayed complications. Case presentation: A
30-year-old male presented with penile pain, swelling, and redness as a
result of blunt trauma to his penis 1 week after penile enhancement
surgery using a subcutaneous soft silicone implant. Once the patient’s
blood pressure was stabilized, surgical management consisted of
exploration with evacuation of a large hematoma and removal of the
subcutaneous penile implant to avoid further perioperative and
postoperative bleeding. Discussion: Postoperative bleeding is a risk
factor associated with almost all types of surgical procedures, and its
prevention is best achieved by identification and elimination of
potential causes pre- and postoperatively. Hypertension is another risk
factor for excessive postsurgical bleeding, particularly bleeding
associated with prosthetic implant surgeries, and should be considered
for any potential surgical patient. Conclusion: With penile prosthesis
and implant surgery, hypertension is an especially serious risk factor.
Early surgical management is warranted in cases involving a major
hematoma and swelling. Even cases with minimal bleeding should be
evaluated in a timely manner, with surgical treatment indicated, rather
than watchful waiting, to prevent further damage to the penis.
