Transurethral Resection of Ejaculatory Duct in Primary Infertile Men with Distal Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction
Journal Title: Journal of Urological Surgery - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: We evaluated the outcome of transurethral resection for the treatment of distal ejaculatory duct obstruction with primary infertile men. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 23 primary infertile men, who had distal ejaculatory duct obstruction, between June 2006 and July 2018. All patients were treated by transurethral resection of the ejaculatory duct. Results: The mean age of the patients was 31.82±5.01 years. Preoperative and postoperative seminal parameters were compared. There was a statistically significant increase in ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility and total motile sperm count. Conclusion: Transurethral resection of the ejaculatory duct improved sperm parameters in most of the primary infertile men with distal ejaculatory duct obstruction. Transurethral resection may also decrease the need for assisted reproduction methods and allow in-vitro fertilization/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection with ejaculated sperm in some azoospermic patients.
