Vasocystostomy in the Rabbit: Surgical Technique and Sperm Outflow

RUSSELL H. HOOKER 1

1 Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts

The surgical technique employed for construction of bilateral vas-to-bladder fistulae (vasocystostomy) in the male rabbit is described. The method of collection and results of examination of sperm from 15 of these animals are presented. The average daily number of intact sperm (185 x 1066) passed in the urine of vasocystostomized rabbits was consistent with previous estimates of sperm production and slightly exceeded previous measurements of sperm output in ejaculated semen.

     Key words: vasocystostomy, surgery, rabbit, sperm, urine
