Abstract
A new simplified electrostimulation system for rectal probe electroejaculation has been developed and tested 17 times in 13 patients. Seminal emission were obtained easily from 13 to 17 studies and partial emission were obtained in 4. Patients with cauda equina and conus lesions with partial intact sensorium also could achieve successful ejaculation by longer stimulation from 2 to 5 minutes with lower currents that could be maintained easily and were tolerated by the patient.sbd.a feature unique to our new computerized equipment. The simplicity of operation reduces the number of trained personnnel for an electrostimulation procedure, which can be done even in an outpatient setting.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
