Abstract

From January 1986 to December 1991, 87 men who underwent single-layer microscopic vasovasotomy were evaluated and also 61 men were followed postoperatively. There was 90.2 (55/ 61 ) per cent return of sperm and 50.8 (31/61) per cent pregnancy using this technique. A 78.4 (24/ 31 ) per cent pregnancy rate was achieved within 8 months postoperatively. In this study there is no difference between the single-layer microscopic vasovasostomy and other microscopic vasectomy reversal in per cent of postoperatively obtaining normal sperm count and pregnancy. Since the single-layer microscopic vasovasostomy is easier, simpler, and time saving, this technique deserves further evaluation and performance.
