Abstract | OBJECTIVE: MATERIAL AND METHODS: We evaluated four eligible patients (age > 14 years) from our genitourinary RMS database. In two patients the reservoir was constructed at the same time of the cystectomy and in two after undiversion of an ileal conduit. All patients were treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy before cystectomy. We used a questionnaire to estimate erectile function in adolescents and young adults. There were four questions, each one to be scored 1-5, assessing capability to masturbate. RESULTS: Mean follow up after cystectomy was 9.75 years. We considered that two patients had erections of good quality (scores 18 and 20) and two of moderate quality (scores 8 and 10). One patient had a good response to sildenafil administration.
