[Transport aspermia following retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy and its treatment]

After retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy disturbances of ejaculation (retrograde ejaculation, transport aspermia) are typical postoperative complications. An own case with transport aspermia is reported, in whom a retrograde ejaculation could be induced after intravenous application of the alpha-sympathomimetic drug midodrin. After masturbation the semen was collected from the bladder and the spermatozoa were inseminated. Immediately after the first instrumental insemination a pregnancy was obtained.
