Sexual function after anterior urethroplasty: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Urethral surgery outcomes are often evaluated by assessing urinary flow and urethral patency. However, sexual consequences may appear after urethroplasty, impairing quality of life and patient's perception of success.The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between anterior urethral reconstruction and postoperative sexual dysfunction, including the proposed factors predicting sexual outcomes.

Methods

We searched in PubMed database using the terms: "anterior urethroplasty", bulbar urethroplasty" or "penile urethroplasty", and "sexual dysfunction", "erectile function" or "ejaculation". Articles were independently evaluated for inclusion based on predetermined criteria. Systematic data extraction was followed by a comprehensive summary of evidence.
