Penile fracture and associated urethral injury: Experience at a tertiary care hospital
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Penile fracture may be associated with urethral trauma in 1% to 38% of cases. We present our experience in treating 8 such cases. METHODS: Data were collected retrospectively from hospital records and from out-patient department follow-up visits. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 30.4 years; trauma during coitus was the most common cause of the penile fracture. One patient presented after 7 days. Two patients had normal examination of their penis despite typical history. All fractures were repaired on an emergency basis via subcoronal incision. In 2 patients with normal findings, the urethra had to be mobilized to locate the site of the injury. In 1 patient, the site of the urethral trauma was 1 cm away from the site of the corporal injury, which was localized by injecting sterile methylene blue per urethra. Postoperatively, all patients voided with good flow and had erections with adequate rigidity. CONCLUSION: A high level of suspicion for urethral injury during surgical exploration is warranted, especially in the presence of suggestive history and examination.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
