title: Plastic repair of the deferent duct with a silicone tubular prosthesis under conditions of a chronic experiment on laboratory animals.
abstract: A connective tissue capsule consisting of a thin layer of the connective tissue envelopes the prosthesis by the end of week 1 after replacement of a part of the deferent duct with a silicone tubular prosthesis under conditions of a chronic experiment. By days 17-20 postoperation, two layers are clearly differentiated in the capsule: the outer layer consisted of a thin layer of connective tissue and the inner one consisted of compact connective tissue. The space between the silicone prosthesis and the connective tissue capsule is filled with the seminal fluid. Obturation of the deferent duct forms because of formation of internal spermatogranulomas and atypical growth of the deferent duct epithelium adhering to the prosthesis wall.
