	Ejaculatory duct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The anterior walls of the left ampulla, left seminal vesicle, and prostatic urethra have been cut away.
		The Ejaculatory ducts are part of the human male anatomy, which cause the reflex action of ejaculation.
		During ejaculation, semen passes through the ducts and exits the body via the penis.

		The primary purpose of TRUS is to assess for obstruction and the absence or hypoplasia of the seminal vesicle and ejaculatory ducts.
		The ejaculatory duct is formed by the confluence of the seminal vesicle and the terminal ampullary portion of the vas deferens.
		One caveat is that TRUS cannot exclude an obstruction of the ejaculatory duct proximal to the region of the prostate and seminal vesicles.

	Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction -BR Gilbert,M.D.,Ph.D.
		The thin wall of the ejaculatory duct is composed of three layers (40): (1) the outer fibrous layer disappears as the ejaculatory ducts enter the prostate, (2) an inner layer of muscular fibers consisting of a thin outer circular layer and an inner longitudinal layer and (3) a mucus membrane covered with columnar epithelium.
		TUI is used primarily for incising short strictures of the ejaculatory ducts and for the initial opening (prior to TUR) of ejaculatory ducts visualized by a dye vasogram.
		The limited resection necessary for correction of the obstructed ejaculatory duct together with the use of intraoperative transrectal ultrasound scanning for localization of the lesion and identification of the depth of the resection, likely limits the occurrence of these injuries.

		The ejaculatory duct becomes distinct from the glomus at its distal end and makes a single forward loop as it travels a distance of about three millimeters to the ventral wall of the cloaca, the entrance to which has been previously described.

		This is possibly caused by the close attachment of the glomera and the ejaculatory ducts to the end of the gut.

	Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction
		The ejaculatory duct is the conduit that carries the semen into the urethra (the tube in the penis).

		The upper extremities of the two vesicles diverge from each other, and are in relation with the ductus deferentes and the terminations of the ureters, and are partly covered by peritoneum.
		The lower extremities are pointed, and converge toward the base of the prostate, where each joins with the corresponding ductus deferens to form the ejaculatory duct.
		When uncoiled, the tube is about the diameter of a quill, and varies in length from 10 to 15 cm.; it ends posteriorly in a cul-de-sac; its anterior extremity becomes constricted into a narrow straight duct, which joins with the corresponding ductus deferens to form the ejaculatory duct.

		Each duct is about two centimetres (about 0.8 inch) long and passes between a lateral and the median lobe of the prostate to reach the floor of the prostatic urethra.

		The ejaculatory duct is a tubular structure that joins the prostatic portion of the urethra and is responsible for transporting sperm and seminal vesicle fluid into the prostatic urethra, the final destination of sperm prior to ejaculation.
		Obstructed ejaculatory ducts are usually diagnosed by transrectal ultrasound imaging or by special radiographic tests called vasograms.
		Obstructed ducts are treated by a simple transurethral procedure whereby the obstructed part of the duct is removed, leaving normal, unobstructed ductal tissue behind.

		The seminal tract develops from the mesonephric duct which is a paired structure draining the mesonephric tubules in to the cloaca.
		All of these patients were found to have bilaterally absent ejaculatory ducts and only one patient was found to have bilaterally present seminal vesicles.4 Both of our patients had TRUS but in both patients radiologist was unable to localize the vas deferens but reported the presence of seminal vesicles bilaterally.
		This study emphasized that absence of seminal fructose and low volume ejaculate in these patients may be due to agenesis of ejaculatory ducts rather than absence of seminal vesicles.5 However, in these two patients, seminal fluid examination had shown the presence of fructose indicating the presence of functioning seminal vesicles and patent ejaculatory ducts.

		The aspirate is examined microscopically and if sperm are found, transurethral resection (TUR) of the ejaculatory duct is performed without need for prior vasography as the presence of sperm indicates that at least one side is not obstructed more proximally and that the cyst or dilated ejaculatory duct communicates with a nonobstructed vas.
		If ejaculatory duct obstruction is confirmed by vasography employing a 50% water-soluble contrast media, the umbilical artery catheters used for vasography stents are left in place so that a dilute methylene blue solution can be injected by the assistant during resection.
