İntrakavernozal Enjeksiyon; İğne Kırılması; Komplikasyon; Erektil Disfonksiyon Abstract After intracavernosal injection, side effects such as pain, ecchymosis, priapism, and a very rare complication like needle breakage inside the penis can be observed. We present a case with surgical removal of needle breakage inside the penis. Our case was a 63-year-old patient, who suffered breakage of the needle inside his penis during intracavernosal injection and after screening methods, received surgical intervention to remove the needle. Intracavernosal injection therapy is a method that can be used effectively and successfully in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Before performing this therapy, the patient should be informed in detail about the implementation of the therapy and all possible side effects including breakage of the needle inside the penis.
