Abstract
Radio-opaque contrast medium was injected into the deferential vein of the dog in vivo and was seen to pass, in 2 of 5 animals, into the intrinsic veins of the prostate and the cavernous tissue of the prostatic urethra. In other cases an increase in abdominal venous pressure was required to bring about the retrograde flow. The prostate receives hormonal stimuli via the deferential vein.
