精巣腫瘍治療(後腹膜リンパ郭清術)後に生じた逆行性射精に対し配偶者間人工受精にて挙児をえた1例

Abstract

A 24-year-old man underwent right radical orchiectomy for testicular teratocarcinoma in May 1982, which was followed by retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. The patient showed no evidence of recurrent disease at followup examinations. The patient later reported a complete loss of ejaculation postoperatively. Erection and orgasm remained normal. Prior use of a sympathomimetic agent, imipramine hydrochloride, was unsuccessful in producing an antegrade ejaculation. Pregnancy was achieved following the fifth attempt at artificial insemination using semen retrieved from the bladder by the modified Hotchkiss method. A healthy male infant, weighing 3, 150 g, was delivered. The treatment modality for male infertility due to retrograde ejaculation after retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for testicular cancer is discussed.
