title: The Young-Dees operation for the correction of retrograde ejaculation.
abstract: Retrograde ejaculation can be a significant problem when it interferes with fertility. Sympathomimetic drugs and sperm retrieval from the urine with insemination of the wife are the common methods of treatment. When these methods have not been successful we have used the Young-Dees type of bladder neck reconstruction to convert retrograde ejaculation into normal or antegrade ejaculation. The operation has been successful in 4 of 5 patients.
