Transurethral Resection of the Ejaculatory Ducts, commonly known as TURED, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat male infertility caused by obstruction of the ejaculatory ducts. This procedure is most commonly used in men who have had a vasectomy and are now seeking fertility restoration.
During a TURED procedure, a small scope is inserted through the penis into the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body. The scope allows the surgeon to visualize the ejaculatory ducts, which are small tubes that carry semen from the seminal vesicles to the urethra. Using a specialized instrument, the surgeon carefully removes any obstructions or blockages in the ejaculatory ducts, allowing semen to flow freely.TURED is a minimally invasive procedure that is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. Most patients are able to return home the same day as the procedure and resume normal activities within a few days. However, patients may experience some mild discomfort or temporary urinary incontinence immediately following the procedure.TURED is a highly effective treatment option for male infertility caused by obstruction of the ejaculatory ducts. Studies have shown that the success rate of TURED is approximately 60-80%, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in their semen quality and fertility within a few months of the procedure.
It is important to note that TURED is not a suitable treatment option for all cases of male infertility. It is most effective for men who have had a vasectomy and are seeking fertility restoration, or for men who have a known obstruction or blockage in their ejaculatory ducts. It is not typically used for men with other causes of infertility, such as low sperm count or poor sperm motility.If you are experiencing male infertility, it is important to seek professional medical advice to determine the underlying cause of your infertility and explore all available treatment options. TURED is just one of many treatment options available, and your doctor can help you determine the best course of action for your specific case.
