Abstract
A 32-year-old man with azoospermia is presented. Transperineal echographically guided vesiculography of the vas deferens showed absence of the ejaculatory duct and presence of a cystic müllerian duct in which both enlarged seminal vesicles joined. Transurethrally, by means of a contact tip over the verumontanum a new channel was created by neodymium:YAG laser irradiation at 25 watts every 2 seconds. The patient had 32.10(6) spermatozoa per ml. with good quality on semen analysis 10 months later.
