| Abstract: | Rectal probe electroejaculation was attempted in 48 spinal cord injury men and greater than 10 million sperm were obtained in 71%. Patient age and interval since injury had no effect on outcome. The best performance was seen in thoracic paraplegics and in those using intermittent catheterization for bladder management. Indwelling urethral catheters and high pressure reflex voiding had a negative impact on electroejaculation results. |
