The histology of different regions of human epididymis in men undergoing vasoepididymostomy to correct epididymal obstruction was studied. The data indicate major degenerative changes in intertubular connective tissue and in the epididymal epithelium. These include increase in connective tissue thickness and its infiltration by leucocytes in some cases, decrease in tubular diameter, degeneration and/or vacuolation of cytoplasm of nonciliated cells of efferent duct and principal cells of epididymis and presence of multinucleate giant cells in the epididymal lumen. These histological abnormalities are discussed in relation to the role such epididymis can play in sperm maturation following vasoepididymostomy.
对接受输精管附睾吻合术以纠正附睾梗阻的男性的人附睾不同区域的组织学进行了研究。数据表明，管间结缔组织和附睾上皮出现了主要的退行性变化。这些变化包括结缔组织厚度增加，在某些情况下有白细胞浸润，管腔直径减小，输出小管非纤毛细胞和附睾主细胞的细胞质发生变性和/或空泡化，以及附睾管腔内出现多核巨细胞。结合输精管附睾吻合术后附睾在精子成熟过程中可能发挥的作用，对这些组织学异常进行了讨论。
