21 patients with azoospermia were examined by cytological techniques of semen. 4 specimens contained spermatogenesis cells, 1 specimen contained spermatozoons, 16 specimens did not contain round cells. Specimens with spermatozoons also included leucocytes. Appearance of leucocytes in semen points to a patency of semen tract. We suggest to examine semen by cytological techniques in azoospermia before testicular biopsy.
