Abstract
Müllerian duct cysts causing ejaculatory duct obstruction were discovered in 26 subfertile males; 21 patients had either azoospermia or very severe oligozoospermia. Characteristic seminal findings were a small volume ejaculate with acid pH and little or no fructose. The lesions were demonstrated by vasography and treated by endoscopic incision. After surgery there was a distinct improvement in volume of the ejaculate and sperm concentration in 10 patients, although another 10 patients continued to have azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia due to either persisting obstruction or secondary epididymal blocks. Eight female partners became pregnant.Keywords
