[Genital prognosis of boys with bladder exstrophy or epispadias with incontinence. Apropos of 14 cases]

Abstract

Bladder exstrophy and epispadias with incontinence are associated with urinary tract and genital anomalies. The genital and sexual aspects were studied in 14 adolescent or adult males (12 exstrophies and 2 epispadias). The appearance of the penis was satisfactory in fifty percent of cases. Erections were always preserved but normal ejaculations were present in only one half of cases. Fertility potential was reduced. The improvement of surgical technique, and especially penile lengthening, has greatly improved sexual intercourse for these patients.
