Sexual function after operations for hypospadias according to Ombrédanne.
Patients who were operated upon for hypospadias according to Ombrédanne's method between the years 1963 and 1968 were asked about their sexual experiences and additional information was obtained from their wives or, if unmarried, their girl friends. It is surprising how many open and factual answers to these delicate questions were received. At the time of investigation, the patients were between 19 and 30 years old. Of a total of 142 operated patients, 118 men (83%) replied. Slight chordee of the glans seems to have no influence on sexual experience and sensation. Slight chordee of up to 10 degrees of the shaft of the penis was easier tolerated than a more severe chordee, as we had imagined. This is a preliminary study and it is hoped that further details will be published in the future.
