Pregnancy caused by sperm from vasa efferentia.
Pregnancies induced by sperm from the vasa efferentia are extremely rare. We report on a 37-year-old male with obstructive azoospermia. An anastomosis between the vas and the rete testis region was carried out by microsurgery on the left side. A healthy male baby was born in March 1993. Paternity was proved by DNA fingerprinting.
