Due to its low donor site morbidity, the genitofemoral nerve is an excellent donor source for cavernous nerve grafting during radical prostatectomy. In the majority of the patients, the sensory deficit produced by resection of this nerve is minimal and caused no other adverse symptoms. Harvest of this nerve prevents the additional morbidity associated with a donor site located elsewhere on the body (ie, sural nerve).

Female breast tissue is sensitive to the induction of cancer by ionizing radiation [1]. This risk is highest in adolescent females and decreases with age. Having noticed that the breasts were often visible on the flexure views of barium enemas, and that many of these women were under 40 years of age, we decided to assess retrospectively 100 barium enema examinations in female patients under the age of 65 years, to determine how frequently the breasts were visible on the flexure views.
