Spermaturia after Radical Prostatectomy: Is Surgical Preservation of Fertility Possible?

Ease of sperm retrieval has not been previously described as a goal for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer; however preservation of fertility is a known concern for some younger prostate cancer patients. We present the first known case of a patient with postejaculatory spe...

We hypothesize that this is due to fistula formation between the vas deferens and the urinary tract.
