Abstract
- In order to evaluate the effects of injectable agents on the vas deferens, 11 groups of 5 rats(10 vasa deferens) had both vasa deferens injected by vasopuncture with normal saline, methylene blue, 7 water-soluble contract agents and 1 lipid-soluble contrast agent. After 8 weeks, they were compared with the control group for their histologic changes. There were no significantly deteriorating changes in water-soluble agents groups execpt two vasal obstructione resulted from infection. One partial ciliary loss was found in lipid-soluble agent group. In conclusion, vasography with water-solublt agents may be a saft and helpful procedure, which could give us meaningful informations in managing the patients.
