A rare congenital malformation consisting of ectopic opening of the vas deferens into the fused segment of a refluxing triplicated ureter (trifid ureter) in an azoospermic man is described. Sperm were found in urine voided after ejaculation. Artificial insemination with sperm recovered from alkalinized urine resulted in pregnancy.
