Is transrectal ultrasonography a reliable diagnostic approach in ejaculatory duct sub-obstruction?
We studied the diagnostic predictive power of transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) coupled with semen volume in cases of distal seminal tract sub-obstruction. As a gold standard for diagnosis we used seminal tract washout (STW). Non-azoospermic subjects (n = 112) were submitted to transrectal ultrasonography because of suspected excretory infertility or other andrological pathologies, before perf...

Ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO) underlies 1-5% of male infertility, although the diagnosis of EDO can be complex, treatment is well established and can be very effective. Part of reason that this condition probably is underdiagnosed, is because of its rarity, subtle presentation and the concomitantly low index of suspicion held by physicians. The causes of EDO are divided into congenital and...

متن کاملTransrectal US-guided seminal vesicle aspiration in the diagnosis of partial ejaculatory duct obstruction.
There has been recent interest in techniques for diagnosing ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO), especially when the partial form of the disease is suspected clinically. Currently, there is no gold standard technique for diagnosing EDO. Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS), which is the technique used most widely, can overdiagnose EDO. As adjunctive diagnostic techniques, duct chro...
متن کاملA prospective comparison of 3 diagnostic methods to evaluate ejaculatory duct obstruction.
PURPOSE Various diagnostic tests are available to evaluate patients with ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO). However, the most accurate diagnostic technique, defined as the one that best predicts a successful outcome after ejaculatory duct resection, is unclear. We prospectively performed transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and 3 other tests in men with EDO and determined their relative value in this...
