- The study aimed to assess how prune belly syndrome (PBS) affects penis development in human fetuses by evaluating 39 fetuses, including 4 with PBS, between 11-22 weeks of gestation.
- Results showed no significant difference in total penis length between the control group and those with PBS, but notable increases were found in total penile area and the sizes of specific penile structures in PBS cases.
- The conclusion highlights that while the length of the penis remains unchanged in fetuses with PBS, other aspects of penile development are adversely affected by the syndrome.
