Transrectal US-guided seminal vesiculography.
Transrectal ultrasound (US)-guided seminal vesiculography is a technique that couples US with radiography to evaluate male-factor infertility. Seminal vesiculography was performed in 12 patients after needle puncture of the seminal vesicle to inject contrast material for radiography. Seminal vesiculography helped imaging of the distal male reproductive tract (vas deferens, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts). This method is an improvement over standard vasography for evaluation of infertility in men with suspected ejaculatory-duct obstruction.
