Penile Fracture: A Comparison of Erectile Function After Immediate Repair

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To prospectively compare erectile function at 12 months, utilizing the abbreviated International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score, for men treated with an immediate repair versus a delayed repair.

Clinical Trial Description

This was a prospective randomized study conducted at 2 tertiary level institutions in Jamaica, the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) and the Kingston Public Hospital (KPH). All cases of penile fracture were recruited from the emergency room (ER) of both hospitals between the period January 2015 to January 2017 and all patients were over 18 years of age.

Information on demographics, length of time since the injury, mechanism of injury and risk factors for erectile dysfunction (Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, Smoking) was collected. Erectile function was objectively assessed utilizing the abbreviated International Index for Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5), and scores at initial presentation were taken to represent the premorbid erectile function.

A block randomization sequence was created and cases were allocated 1:1 to either immediate repair (group 1) or delayed repair (group 2). Allocation sequence numbers were kept concealed in sequentially numbered folders and access was only granted to the principal investigator.

For Group 1 (Immediate repair)

Patients were admitted to hospital and underwent emergency repair via a subcoronal circumferential degloving approach.

For Group 2 (Delayed repair)

Patients were not admitted. Instead, they were discharged from hospital and given an elective surgery date 7 - 10 days after the injury. Oral Diclofenac Sodium 50mg was prescribed to be taken as needed and instructions to abstain from any sexual activity.

All patients were then re-examined at 6 weeks for quality assurance. They were then instructed that resumption of sexual activity would be safe.

Routine clinic visits were scheduled at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. IIEF-5 scores were obtained from all patients at 12months. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
