Abstract (2. Language): 
A 74-year-old male applied to the emergency room having a broken needle in his penis. He has been on intracavernous injection therapy for erectile dysfunction and the needle had been broken in that morning. The needle was felt under the soft tissue in his penis and it could be seen on the direct radiography within the dorsolateral part of the penis. The needle was removed under local anesthesia and there was no complication at the operation site. The patient was advised to switch to oral medication for his erectile dysfunction. Manual dexterity of the patients to whom intracavernous injection therapy is advised for erectile dysfunction should be evaluated cautiously, and the importance of correct injection technique should be stressed.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Yetmiş dört yaşındaki erkek hasta, ilkyardım servisine penisinin içinde kırılmış bir iğne olduğunu ifade ederek başvurdu. Erektil işlev bozukluğu nedeniyle kendi kendine intrakavernöz enjeksiyon tedavisi uygulayan hastanın penisinde iğne palpe edilebiliyor ve direkt grafide iğne penisin dorsolateralinde görülebiliyordu. İğne, lokal anestezi altında çıkarıldı ve operasyon yerinde komplikasyon gelişmedi. Hastaya, erektil işlev bozukluğu için oral tedaviye geçmesi önerildi. Erektil işlev bozukluğunda intrakavernöz enjeksiyon tedavisi önerilen hastaların el becerileri dikkatlice değerlendirilmeli ve doğru enjeksiyon tekniğinin önemi vurgulanmalıdır.
