## TL;DR

A case of penile fracture successfully treated in a rural area highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate surgical techniques.

## Contribution

This case report demonstrates effective management of penile fracture in a resource-limited setting using a vertical incision.

## Key findings

- Penile fracture was diagnosed clinically and confirmed with ultrasonography.
- A vertical incision provided a less invasive and effective surgical approach in a rural setting.
- Prompt surgical repair of the tunica albuginea and cavernosum is crucial for successful outcomes.

## Abstract

Penile fracture remains underreported in South Asia due to social taboos. It is primarily a clinical diagnosis, with ultrasonography aiding localization. Prompt surgical exploration and repair of the tunica albuginea and cavernosum are the gold standard. In resource‐limited settings, a vertical incision offers a less invasive and effective approach.
