The main causes are testicular failure and ductal obstruction. The ejaculatory duct obstruction was reported about 6 percent of the ductal obstruction. We present a case of a young adult azoospermic male patient with bilateral obstruction of the terminal ejaculatory duct who was treated successfully by transurethral incision using Collings cold knife in the area of the ejaculatory ducts.
