Artificially stimulated ejaculation in the brain dead patient: a case report

Urology. 1996 May;47(5):760-2. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(96)00021-0.

Abstract

Cutaneous vibratory stimulation and rectal probe electroejaculation are highly successful methods of obtaining semen in the anejaculate patient. We report a case in which spermatozoa were retrieved in a brain dead man by artificially stimulated ejaculation. The specimen was cryopreserved to be used at a later date in combination with assisted reproductive techniques.
