摘要
During the past decade, endourology represents the most advanced tech-nology in urology which has provided mi- nimal invasive diagnostic and therapeutic tool for patients with urology diseases. However, because of the much smaller lumen of genital tract, endoscopic andro-logy remained a dream for andrologists until the first clinical application of vesicu-loscopy in laser lithotripsy of seminal vesi-cle stones in 2006. Lately, Dr Trottmann at Ludwig-Maximilians University, Germany, for the first time established vasoscopy in the seminal duct using a new prototype of a microendoscope and also applied a new imaging technique for in situ localization of vital spermatozoa. These newly developed techniques will greatly speed up the clinical practice of endoandrology.
