[Microsurgical splinted tubulovasostomy in rats]

Due to unsatisfactory results from conventional epididymovasostomies for treating male infertility because of the obstruction of the ejaculatory tract, a new method was tried by splinting the tubulovasostomy. This was first described by Ozdiler and Kelâmi. After 3-6 months, a total of 33% of the anastomoses were patent. With the surgeon's increased skill and practice of the operation, the patency of the anastomoses of the last group increased to 50% (15/30).
