Longitudinal section through the proximal suture line of a vas autograft showing the patency of the anastomosis. The spermatozoa (s) filling the lumen, the suture (S), and the interrupted smooth muscle (sm) layers along the anastomosis site (dashed lines) are shown. Proximal vas (p), vas autograft (vg). Note the reduced length of the stereocilia (arrows) in the vas autograft 135x.
