Clinical experience with an alloplastic spermatocele. 1978

L V Wagenknecht, and F A Leidenberger, and B Schütte, and H Becker, and C Schirren

During the last 4 years we succeeded in proving in experiments in rats and bulls that a cup-shaped silicone-dacron prosthesis may be used as Sperm-reservoir. Spermatozoa--aspirated from this reservoir and stored as pellets in liquid nitrogen over 6 weeks--induced pregnancies and normal births in 50 percent of inseminated cows. Because of aplasia or long stenosis of the vas deferens 26 prostheses (20 X 8 X 8 mm) were implanted upon the epididymis in 14 patients. Percutaneous aspirations up to 7 months after operation showed up to 105 million spermatozoa persingle aspiration. The number and the motility of the aspirated spermatozoa varied considerably from one puncture to the next. Quality and quantity of spermatozoa decreases in correlation with longer postoperative delays. Average aspiration-time was 3 months and positive sperm counts were obtained on an average for 2 months. Insemination of the patients' wives with the aspirate did not result in any pregnancy so far. In "hopeless cases" presenting excretory azoospermia and aplasia or long stenosis of the vas, we try to obtain maximal numbers of spermatozoa by early and frequent aspiration of the implanted alloplastic reservoir for well "timed" direct insemination and deepfreezing.

D008297 Male Males
D002452 Cell Count The number of CELLS of a specific kind, usually measured per unit volume or area of sample. Cell Density,Cell Number,Cell Counts,Cell Densities,Cell Numbers,Count, Cell,Counts, Cell,Densities, Cell,Density, Cell,Number, Cell,Numbers, Cell
D004822 Epididymis The convoluted cordlike structure attached to the posterior of the TESTIS. Epididymis consists of the head (caput), the body (corpus), and the tail (cauda). A network of ducts leaving the testis joins into a common epididymal tubule proper which provides the transport, storage, and maturation of SPERMATOZOA.
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D012828 Silicones A broad family of synthetic organosiloxane polymers containing a repeating silicon-oxygen backbone with organic side groups attached via carbon-silicon bonds. Depending on their structure, they are classified as liquids, gels, and elastomers. (From Merck Index, 12th ed) Silicone
D013081 Sperm Motility Movement characteristics of SPERMATOZOA in a fresh specimen. It is measured as the percentage of sperms that are moving, and as the percentage of sperms with productive flagellar motion such as rapid, linear, and forward progression. Motilities, Sperm,Motility, Sperm,Sperm Motilities
D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.
