title: Hydronephrosis in male rats.
abstract: Section of the right internal spermatic artery and vein where they overlie the ureter in Wistar-related male rats suggests that the right hydronephrosis found in these animals is not a consequence of simple obstruction by the blood vessels. The diverse effects of this operation on testicular weight presumably reflect variation in the relative importance of internal and external spermatic blood supply.
