Objective |
To define clinical features and surgical management of urethro-cavernosal fistulas (UCF).

Results |
We herein describe surgical techniques and long-term outcomes for UCF repair.
Conclusion |
UCFs is a rare urological condition with only 9 cases reported to date. UCFs can be diagnosed with careful history, physical examination, and retrograde urethrography.
