    Transurethral Resection of Ejaculatory Duct in Primary Infertile Men with Distal Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction
    (2019) Ozer, Cevahir; Goren, Mehmet Resit; 0000-0001-6037-7991; 0000-0002-7850-6912; 0000-0002-2001-1386; AAM-2222-2020; Y-6143-2019
    Objective: We evaluated the outcome of transurethral resection for the treatment of distal ejaculatory duct obstruction with primary infertile men. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 23 primary infertile men, who had distal ejaculatory duct obstruction, between June 2006 and July 2018. All patients were treated by transurethral resection of the ejaculatory duct. Results: The mean age of the patients was 31.82 +/- 5.01 years. Preoperative and postoperative seminal parameters were compared. There was a statistically significant increase in ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility and total motile sperm count. Conclusion: Transurethral resection of the ejaculatory duct improved sperm parameters in most of the primary infertile men with distal ejaculatory duct obstruction. Transurethral resection may also decrease the need for assisted reproduction methods and allow in-vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection with ejaculated sperm in some azoospermic patients.

    Distribution and number of Cajal-like cells in testis tissue with azoospermia
    (2017) Hasirci, Eray; Turunc, Tahsin; Bal, Nebil; Goren, Mehmet Resit; Celik, Huseyin; Kervancioglu, Enis; Dirim, Ayhan; Tekindal, Mustafa Agah; Ozkardes, Hakan; 0000-0002-7936-2172; 0000-0003-2898-485X; 0000-0002-2001-1386; 0000-0002-7277-449X; 0000-0002-4060-7048; 0000-0002-4147-2966; 0000-0003-3465-9092; 28359405; ABD-4332-2020; AAJ-5689-2021; Y-6143-2019; AAH-1052-2020; U-9270-2018; AAI-7997-2021; AAA-3033-2021; AAM-4475-2021
    We investigated the number and distribution of Cajal-like cells in patients with azoospermia. A total of 99 patients with non-obstructive azoospermia were divided into subgroups [19 patientsin hypospermatogenesis group (S1), 40 patients in maturation arrest group (S2), 20 patients in a Sertoli cell-only syndrome (S3), and 20 patients in a testicular atrophy and fibrosis group (S4)], and 20 patients with obstructive azoospermia group (SO). Sections stained with a c-kit antibody were studied by light microscopy to determine the number and distribution of Cajal-like cells in peritubular and perivascular areas of testis. The number of Cajal-like cells were higher in all the non-obstructive groups than in the obstructive group (S0: 2.43 cells/mm(2), S1: 3.14 cells/mm(2), S2: 4.00 cells/mm(2), S3: 4.57 cells/mm(2), S4: 3.86 cells/mm(2)) but statistically significantly different (p < 0.05) in the S2 and S3 subgroups only. Distribution of Cajal-like cells were similar in all groups. The number and distribution of Cajal-like cells in non obstructive groups suggest that these cells may affect spermatogenesis. This cellular type can be responsible for the regulation of cellular motility or spermatogenesis. Electrophysiological and electron microscopic studies are needed to better define morphology and function of Cajal-like cells in the testis, especially totally the normal testis tissue.
